Game Overview: Titans vs. Eagles, September 20 2026
The Philadelphia Eagles visited the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville for a Week 2 NFL matchup. The Eagles won 24-20 on a late-game, nine-second touchdown pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts to Darius Cooper. The game featured a paid attendance of 68,567, with Eagles supporters estimated to comprise 60-70 % of the crowd. The hostile environment prompted multiple observers to describe the venue as feeling like a road game for the home side.
Background & Context
The Titans have struggled to attract large home crowds since the 2024 season, posting a 12-41 record through 2025 and a 6-28 record over the prior two seasons. Prior seasons have seen visiting fan surges, notably in 2019 (Bills, Chiefs) and 2022 (Bears). Nashville’s status as a tourist destination further encourages out-of-town attendance, a trend that intensified for the September 20 contest.
