Titans-49ers preseason Week 1: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The Tennessee Titans started their 2024 preseason with a 17-13 win against the reigning 2023 NFC champion San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.

After the 49ers scored a touchdown on their first drive, the Titans’ first-team offense responded with two consecutive scores and added a field goal in the second half to round out the scoring.

The Titans secured the win with an interception by linebacker Chance Campbell on the final play of the game.

Now let’s take a closer look at the snap counts that contributed to the Titans’ Week 1 preseason victory.

Offensive snaps: 71

Defensive snaps: 56

Special teams snaps: 19

Offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons led the team with 57 snaps, earning a nice long look from head coach Brian Callahan. Linebacker Chance Campbell, our Player of the Game after his win-sealing interception, was next up with 45 snaps.

The special teams rotation was certainly interesting with only linebacker James Williams and safety Mike Brown receiving double-digit snaps.

Overall, the Titans spread the wealth around with 19 more players taking snaps than the 49ers. It was a look for almost the entire roster and that film will help help the coaching staff make final decisions when it comes time to set the 53-man roster.
