Malik Willis threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to
Bryce Oliver, the second on a late fourth down, to lift the
Tennessee Titans past the host New Orleans Saints 30-27 on Sunday in
the preseason finale for both teams.
Competing for the backup job behind Derek Carr, Saints rookie
Spencer Rattler threw a TD pass and led four scoring drives totaling
24 points. Rattler was 7-of-13 passing for 105 yards, including a
21-yard score to Equanimeous St. Brown, capping a 70-yard drive in
the second quarter.
No. 1 QB Will Levis started for the Titans (3-0) and finished 7-of-8
passing for 118 yards as he led a pair of scoring drives. Tony
Pollard (five carries, 17 yards) scored on an early 1-yard run
before Tennessee rested its starters.
In the fourth, Rattler led a pair of scoring drives that ended with
a pair of TD runs by undrafted rookie Jacob Kibodi, who led the
Saints (1-2) with 12 carries and 59 rushing yards.
Oliver, who caught a 34-yard TD earlier in the fourth before his
5-yard scoring reception with 1:25 left, finished with a team-high
52 receiving yards on three catches for the Titans.
Broncos 38, Cardinals 12
Zach Wilson threw a pair of touchdowns and ran for another, leading
host Denver over Arizona as both teams wrapped up their preseason
slate.
Wilson, who will back up rookie starter Bo Nix, completed 16 of 25
passes for 251 yards, including a 46-yard TD toss to Brandon Johnson
and a 1-yard scoring pass to Nate Adkins. Wilson scored on a 1-yard
scamper to put Denver (3-0) comfortably ahead 24-6 late in the third
quarter.
Clayton Tune, competing with Desmond Ridder to back up starter Kyler
Murray for Arizona (0-3), was 12-for-18 passing for 119 yards.
Ridder completed 10 of 16 throws for 111 yards. Hassan Hall rushed
for 59 yards on 19 carries, including a 3-yard TD run.

Commanders 20, Patriots 10
Washington scored all its points in the final 26 minutes of the game
to race past New England in Landover, Md.
Drake Maye got the Patriots (1-2) off to a good start by finding
Kevin Harris for an 18-yard touchdown with 40 seconds left in the
first quarter, but New England would only get a 38-yard field goal
from Chad Ryland the rest of the way. Maye took over after veteran
signal-caller Jacoby Brissett suffered a shoulder injury just over 2
1/2 minutes into the game.
Michael Wiley rushed for a 9-yard TD and Martavis Bryant caught a
4-yard score for the Commanders (1-2). Washington's Trace McSorley
completed 12 of 21 passes for 125 yards and the touchdown to Bryant.
