Two weeks into the season, Joey Syle looked like the Titans’ most reliable weapon. But now the kicker seems to search for his spark. He has missed four straight attempts, including a pair of first-half misfires from 41 and 43 yards in Houston.
The Denver Broncos started off the 2025 NFL season at home in Week 1 as they are currently facing off against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee grabbed an early lead in the game as Joey Slye knocked through a 50-yard field goal early in the first quarter to give the Titans a 3-0 lead.
