Playing in the snow is rough, especially if you’re the Tennessee Titans, who fell to the Green Bay Packers, 40-14, at Lambeau Field on Sunday night.
Things couldn’t have gone much worse for the Titans in the first two quarters, but they still only trailed 19-7 at halftime.
Tennessee gained some momentum in the third quarter, as quarterback Ryan Tannehill faked quite literally everyone out on a play that ended with a 45-yard touchdown run to bring the Titans to within five points of the Packers.
It didn’t take long for Tennessee’s momentum to get halted, though, as the team began to struggle on offense again and fell victim to some big plays from Green Bay’s offense.
With the disappointing loss, the Titans fall to 10-5 and will now prepare to face their division rival, the Houston Texans, in the season finale at NRG Stadium.
It’s very simple for the Titans in Week 17: win and they clinch not only a playoff berth, but also the AFC South crown.
Here’s a look at what Twitter had to say about the game and its outcome:

If the #Titans had a defensive coordinator, he'd be fired. A long time ago. Vrabel continues to hide the problem and they're simply not going to address it this year. That's fine.
But either they do it next year or this becomes a barrier to the wisdom of retaining him long term.

That’s been the @packers most complete performance of the season, on both offence and defence. (Special teams, er, not quite hitting the heights tonight.) Tremendous way to go into week 17. #TENvsGB #GoPackGo

I'm sorry, but did the #Packers defense hold Derrick Henry to under 100 yards rushing?! 🤔 🤯 #GoPackGo #TENvsGB

I love what Mike Vrabel did with this team in the last few years but there are some things that i really dislike:
1. His body language when we’re down.
2. Vrabel remains intransigent despite all the criticism on our defense. Looks like he wants to “prove us wrong”.

Is there a playoff team more lopsided than the Tennessee Titans?

If you will excuse me, I'm going to break my phone and turn off all sports media for another week.

Henry will miss tying the 100 yard road record by 2 yards. Ugh.

#Titans appear to have escaped Green Bay relatively healthy…..so at least there is that.

Win or lose I am riding with this #Titans team. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

I honestly don’t see how an NFL team is this bad on defense every single week. #Titans
