The Tennessee Titans’ Week 17 loss to the Houston Texans gave us a taste of just about everything that has plagued the team during the 2023 campaign, which will thankfully come to an end next week.
There was horrendous pass protection and run-blocking, a quarterback got hurt as a result of the former, and the Titans managed to shoot themselves in the foot with bad penalties, a turnover and shoddy play-calling.
The defense was awful between the 20’s, but the unit did buckle down in the red zone, as it has all season long.
The only silver lining of Sunday’s result was the fact that the Titans helped their quest to get the highest draft pick possible. That, along with a lot of cap space, will greatly aid in the roster overhaul Tennessee needs.
We’ll talk about all of those topics and more as we take a look at the biggest takeaways from the Titans’ 11th loss of the season.
