Receiver’s big-play ability vs. Titans’ defensive backfield

Arizona cornerback Byron Murphy had the game of his life last week, and not just because he returned a fumble for a 59-yard game-winning touchdown in overtime. The fourth-year player also spent most of the game covering Davante Adams, who was limited to two catches for 12 yards on seven targets. The Cardinals gave Murphy safety help on Adams, a strategy the Titans may try to replicate. But, given the state of its secondary, it’s hard to see Tennessee finding similar success. Top cornerback Kristian Fulton has been limited in practice and is at risk of missing his second straight game. The Titans’ depth behind him is young and unproven. They couldn’t hold up last week against Buffalo’s Stefon Diggs, who went off with 12 receptions for 148 yards and three touchdowns. Adams and Diggs are two of the very best receivers in the NFL.
