Titans coach Mike Vrabel on what challenges the Vikings present in Week Three:
"This defense, they're a good defense. They're talented. They're well-coached. I think we have to be very concerned with this running back, dynamic. They get two good tight ends. (Adam) Thielen is fantastic. He's tough to cover in single coverage. They've got two really good safeties. Their linebackers are active. It'll be important for us to get moving on these guys and to have a plan that our players are confident in."
