The Atlanta Falcons host the Tennessee Titans on Friday, August 15, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. ET in Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Both teams enter at 0-1, aiming to bounce back after opening losses.
Falcons Outlook: Atlanta will rest starting quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins, giving Easton Stick and Emory Jones most of the snaps. Stick was sharp in Week 1, going 15-of-18 for 149 yards and a touchdown. The Falcons will look to keep that efficiency going.
Titans Outlook: No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is expected to get more reps after a solid debut (5-of-8, 67 yards). Wide receiver Calvin Ridley is emerging as his go-to target, and the Titans will try to fix slow starts that plagued them last week.
Key Storylines:
• QB development: Ward vs. Stick
• Offensive rhythm without starters
• Roster battles for depth roles
• Titans’ urgency in early drives
How to Watch:
• TV: NFL Network
• Streaming: NFL+ (in-market and national preseason games)
• Radio: Local broadcasts in Atlanta and Nashville
• Kickoff: Friday, August 15, 2025 – 7:00 p.m. ET
Prediction: Tight, low-scoring game. Titans take the win, Falcons keep it close.
