Multiple Former Titans Get Revenge in Beatdown
The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Tennessee Titans 27-17 in Week 10 at SoFi Stadium, but the game meant a little more to a few players on the winning team.
Several former Titans were key contributors as the Chargers found a way to win.
Before the matchup, Chargers cornerback Elijah Molden, who was cut by the Titans during training camp, told reporters that the game had a little bit of extra meaning for him.
“The reason why I’m here now is because I feel like a team didn’t believe in me,” Molden said via Thuc Ngi Nguyen of The Los Angeles Times. “I believed that my best football was ahead of me, and I wanted to play ball and achieve my goals. Like, why not? I’m here doing that.”
Molden was the second-leading tackler behind Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley in the win, recording eight tackles and proving to the Titans that they may have made a mistake moving on from him too soon.
Former Titans linebacker Bud Dupree also got in on the action. Dupree had five tackles while sacking quarterback Will Levis twice in the win.
Perhaps the biggest statement made by a former Titans player in the game came in the fourth quarter when running back Hassan Haskins scored the first touchdown of his career on a 1-yard run. The Chargers were already up two scores and the team didn’t have either J.K. Dobbins or Gus Edwards in, but they gave it to Haskins to push it in for the first score of his career.
At the end of the day, whether or not revenge was a factor doesn’t matter to the Titans, but it could add a little bit more sting to the loss.
The Titans will look to bounce back in Week 11 when they host the Minnesota Vikings at Nissan Stadium.

The History of Earth Day
A comprehensive look at the evolution of Earth Day from its 1970 origins to a global environmental movement.
Earth Day, the annual event which promotes environmental protection and awareness, is this week.
Celebrating its 56th year, this year’s Earth Day theme is “Our Power, Our Planet,” which stresses the importance of communities, educators, workers and families working together toward environmental progress.
“‘Our Power, Our Planet’ is not a political statement. It is a commitment to stewardship, resilience, and shared accountability — a call for every individual, community, and sector to exercise their power in service of the planet we all depend on,” reads the 2026 manifesto.
To celebrate Earth Day 2026, the Tennessee State Parks system will be offering educational, recreational and volunteer events across the state.
Here’s what to know.
When is Earth Day 2026?
Earth Day is April 22.
According to Earthday.org, the movement’s founders — inspired by the student anti‑war protests of the 1960s and 1970s — chose a weekday falling between Spring Break and final exams to maximize the greatest student participation.
Why is Earth Day celebrated?
The history of Earth Day dates back to 1962 with Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestselling book, “Silent Spring” which raised awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and the links between pollution and public health.
U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin, was concerned about worsening environmental conditions and galvanized by the massive 1969 oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara. He launched the idea that would become Earth Day.
Nelson partnered with Republican U.S. Rep. Pete McCloskey and activist Denis Hayes to organize nationwide teach‑ins on April 22, expanding the effort beyond college campuses and rebranding it as Earth Day, an event that quickly gained national media attention and widespread public participation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.
