Rishard Matthews Droppable After Invisible Week 3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews continued to be a non-factor in the passing game in Week 3 as the Titans took on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was held in check in the Week 3 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, rushing nine times for 26 yards and adding 14 yards on three receptions.
