He was called on to punt three times on Sunday, averaging just 37.7 yards and placing one of those three punts inside the 20-yard line.

The Tennessee Titans are coming from a 21-10 win over the Miami Dolphins in a preseason game.
The mystery finally ended when the 36-year-old Shaun Hill took the field for the Vikings’ first series for his first start since 2014 when he was with the St. Louis Rams. The Vikings better win that game because I can see them going 0-3 this month, if they don’t get this win. “I can’t wait to get with the coaches”.
“I saw that fire in a lot of guys” eyes [after the return]”, Patterson said.
The Titans have a brand new running core to complement Mariota’s play.
The Vikings defense followed the first field goal by forcing a three-and-out with Harrison Smith stuffing Derrick Henry for no gain on third-and-1.

Minnesota struggled to run the ball all day.
“The turnovers obviously were catastrophic”, Mularkey said. For him, the harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. 77 yards later, the second-year linebacker had his first career pick-six. Marcus Mariota didn’t play. While Mariota threw for 271 yards and a pair of touchdowns to running back DeMarco Murray, he also committed two game-changing turnovers. You know, Green Bay is an bad good team.
Then, early in the fourth quarter after a Blair Walsh field goal pushed the margin to 15-10, a Mariota fumble on a botched handoff was returned 24 yards by Danielle Hunter. He rebounded by kicking four field goals in the second half Sunday as Minnesota beat the Tennessee Titans 25-16. “So, we’ll figure all that stuff out, but Green Bay is an awfully good team”. “I thought I had a realistic chance, but I didn’t get it there obviously”.
Yes, if the Titans wanted to win, they needed to get a 2-point conversion at some point. They were important kicks, but you want to take the drama out of it, that’s for sure. Walsh also missed an extra point attempt following the Eric Kendricks interception. “Putting points on the board”. “I can’t think about that”. But the Vikings will start finding out soon. Against Tennessee, Hill was 18 of 33 for 236 yards passing with Stefon Diggs catching seven passes for 103 yards. Defenses not fearing Hill as a downfield passer is a factor. That’s how I looked at them.
“It just didn’t feel right at that moment so now I just have to take it day-by-day”.
The Vikings’ offense faced a defense clearly and unsurprisingly geared to stop Adrian Peterson, and it worked (19 carries, 31 yards, 1.6 yards per attempt).
The Titans welcome the challenge of the Vikings today, as their defense ranked 12 in the National Football League in yards allowed, so they have confidence that they can stack the box to stop Peterson and force the quarterback to beat them.
“We have to run the ball better”.
“We play this team twice a year, so we’ll prepare for their scheme and what they’ve done”. I felt like we did pretty good at times. In my eyes, he did enough to keep the job for one more week. Yes, there’s good players there, but if Bradford plays up to expectations, Minnesota won’t miss that first-round pick.
Zimmer wasn’t surprised at the amount of emphasis the Titans placed on Peterson. Points should be hard to come by in this game, which is why we like the under to hit. Here’s how they went.

Hill was chatting on the sideline and said, “That’s what I love about playing on the road”. But he said the Titans never hung their heads or gave up, even after falling behind 25-10 in the fourth quarter. “We were all trying to make great calls and everything. It was more about, ‘Hey, let’s do what we do and let’s go play'”.
