The Los Angeles Rams secured a commanding 21-2 win over the Tennessee Titans in their 2027 preseason Week 3 matchup on August 21. Rams head coach Rigoberto Goulet's squad showed stout defense and efficient scoring to outpace the Titans at their home field.

Scoring started early in the first quarter with the Rams' kicker David Ray hitting a 46-yard field goal, putting Los Angeles up 3-0 at 6:54. Moments later, quarterback Marc Bulger connected with wide receiver Jesse Downey on a 24-yard touchdown pass. David Ray's extra point was good, extending the lead to 10-0. These two early scores set the tone in an otherwise defensively driven game.

The Titans struggled offensively throughout the contest. Despite 44 passing attempts, their quarterback failed to put up any touchdowns or turnovers, managing 240 yards through the air. Tennessee's ground game also fell short, accumulating only 98 yards and no scores on 27 carries. They did convert none of their red zone visits into points and failed to register any third-down conversions, indicating significant challenges moving the chains against the Rams’ defense.

The Rams' defense was instrumental in keeping the Titans' offense off the scoreboard. Los Angeles executed four sacks and forced one fumble, recovering two. Defensive tackle Eddie Grover led the way with one sack and a forced fumble. These defensive stands repeatedly stifled Titans drives, including a critical fumble recovery in the fourth quarter that helped maintain the Rams' lead.

On special teams, David Ray was perfect on two field goal attempts, adding a 25-yard kick in the third quarter to extend the Rams' advantage to 13-0. Punting duties were shared between Robert Arechiga and Dylan Williams, with Arechiga placing punts effectively to limit Tennessee field position.

Jesse Downey was pivotal in the Rams’ victory, finishing with 67 receiving yards and two rushing touchdowns, highlighting his versatility in the offense. While the Rams' offense totaled 252 passing yards, they did not record a passing touchdown, relying instead on ground scores and field goals.

The Titans failed to convert key opportunities, ending the game without scoring in the red zone or capitalizing on several drives. A notable low point was their inability to score from 44 offensive snaps and no successful third-down conversions.

Penalty-wise, the Titans incurred five penalties for 40 yards compared to the Rams’ single 5-yard penalty, another indication of the discipline difference between the teams.

The Rams improve their preseason record and finish with a clean defensive sheet, demonstrating strong early signs ahead of the regular season. Tennessee looks to regroup after a week marked by missed opportunities and limited offensive output.
