The Tennessee Titans were embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, 30-14. Not only did their former quarterback, Malik Willis, put on a show, but their offense once again struggled. While Will Levis will take some heat after throwing another critical interception, the offensive line’s performance should be in the crosshairs of disapproval.
The Tennessee Titans’ offensive line has struggled since 2024. Not only have they been inconsistent in the run game, but quarterback Will Levis has been under pressure on a large portion of his throws, and Sunday, that pressure was even worse.
It didn’t matter what the combination was; the play fell short. It was so bad that starting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was benched in the second half after a brutal performance that included allowing Kingsley Enagbare to record the fastest sack of the day for Week 3.

After the game, Petit-Frere spoke about his performance and was at a loss about his play.
“This is probably the worst stretch of ball I’ve had, probably (like) in my career,” he said after the game.

“I got to find out what I can do better. Whether that’s mental or physical,” he continued.
Heading into the season, the rebuilt line was a question mark, but there was optimism after the offseason additions. Not only did they add to the roster in both draft and free agency, but they also added one of the top offensive line coaches in the game.
After three weeks, it is clear that this unit is holding the offense back. No matter the issue with Petit-Frere, it is apparent that he and the rest of the offensive line must play better. The Titans’ season depends on it.
