Patriots Dominate Titans 31-13, Extend Winning Streak to Four Games

The New England Patriots extended their winning streak to four games, dominating the Tennessee Titans 31-13 in Nashville during Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season. This victory not only moved the Patriots to a 5-2 record under new head coach Mike Vrabel, but also marked their first perfect three-game road trip since the AFL-NFL merger, a feat not achieved in the franchise’s modern era. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye was once again nearly flawless, completing 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns, with no turnovers for the fourth straight game. Maye’s performance continues to place him in rare statistical company: he is now only the third player in NFL history under the age of 24 to have at least 200 passing yards and a passer rating over 100 in six consecutive games, joining Patrick Mahomes and Dan Marino. His highlight moment came late in the second quarter, when he launched a 39-yard touchdown strike to Kayshon Boutte, putting New England ahead 17-13 at halftime. The Patriots’ offensive efficiency was on full display after a sluggish start. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson powered the ground attack with 88 rushing yards and a touchdown, while new addition Stefon Diggs led all receivers with seven catches for 69 yards. Maye completed 16 straight passes from late in the first quarter through most of the fourth, a testament to his growing command of the offense. Defensively, the Patriots turned the tide in the second half. Edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson delivered a game-changing sequence: after Stevenson’s touchdown extended the lead, Chaisson recovered a Cam Ward fumble on the next play and returned it for a touchdown, giving New England two scores in just 11 seconds. Chaisson finished with two of the team’s five sacks, and cornerback Marcus Jones sealed the win with a late interception. For Tennessee, rookie quarterback Cam Ward started strong, throwing for 144 yards and a touchdown in the first half and leading the Titans to a 10-3 lead after one quarter—their largest advantage of the season. But Ward’s costly third-quarter fumble and late interception underscored ongoing turnover issues, now seven games running. Interim head coach Mike McCoy was unable to spark a full turnaround, and the Titans fell to 1-6. The game also carried emotional significance for Vrabel, who returned to Tennessee for the first time since being fired in January 2024. Fans at Nissan Stadium acknowledged his impact with chants of “Vrabel, Vrabel,” and the Patriots ensured their coach got his revenge. Several current Patriots, including linebacker Harold Landry III, also have ties to the Titans, adding to the motivation. Looking at the bigger picture, New England’s resurgence is notable. They now sit atop the AFC East and have their best seven-game start since the Tom Brady era. With Mike Vrabel at the helm and Maye’s rapid development, the Patriots are emerging as legitimate contenders. The Titans, meanwhile, continue to search for answers in a challenging season marked by coaching changes and rookie learning curves.
