Minnesota Vikings vs Tennessee Titans: Three things to watch

The Tennessee Titans prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11 at Nissan Stadium.

Here’s a look at three things to watch before the game:

Will Levis seemed strong for titanium in his return to the lineup last week, completing 18 of 23 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns.

It was Levis’ first start since Week 6 after suffering a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the last three games.

Levis has been training all week so he is ready to go again and there will be plenty of intrigue surrounding him if he can continue to trend in the right direction.

Justin Jefferson is the star wide receiver for the Vikings on the threshold of historyand could easily accomplish it against the titans.

Jefferson needs just 54 yards to pass Torry Holt for the most receiving yards by any player through his first five seasons.

He is expected to break that record at some point during the season and the odds of that happening against him titanium that’s pretty good considering Tennessee is down its top two cornerbacks in L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie. Expect Jefferson to have a day.

Nicholas Petit-Frere is once again in the starting line-up after Leroy Watson IV suffered a back injury in the Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

With Petit-Frere back in the fold, he will be looking to bounce back from the poor early season performances that saw him benched.

Right tackle has been a major issue for the Titans all year, so Petit-Frere has a chance to alleviate the team’s biggest concern, but it won’t be easy against a hungry Vikings pass rush.
