The loudest cheer of the night might’ve been when the video board alerted the fan base that star quarterback Kirk Cousins was celebrating his 35th birthday.The biggest thing the preseason game provided was a chance for young players like rookie quarterback Jaren Hall to gain more experience. After struggling in the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks last week, Hall was better against the Titans. He completed 4 of 7 pass attempt...
