The Tennessee Titans lost a close Thursday night thriller to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-16. This game was very predictable in the sense that it mainly revolved around physical play by both teams that led to a low-scoring ball game.
In the end, a combination of questionable play calls, a non-existent defense and not enough help for the team’s rookie quarterback ultimately prevented the Titans from picking up their fourth win of the season.
This is one of those games that the team will reflect on at the end of the year as one that got away. Only time will tell whether or not this comes back to haunt the Titans, but there were some positives to take away from this one, as well, and mainly when it comes to the guy who wears No. 8 on his jersey.
