For the third straight week the Tennessee Titans found themselves in a close battle with an opponent, and for the third straight week head coach Mike Vrabel’s squad narrowly pulled out the victory.
This game was close throughout, as the Titans staked themselves to a 14-10 halftime lead over the Washington Commanders, but that was just the beginning of the “fun.”
After falling behind 17-14 in the third quarter, the Titans did something they hadn’t done in the second half of the previous three games: they scored points!
A 61-yard reception by Nick Westbrook-Ikhine helped setup Tennessee’s final scoring drive of the game that proved to be the game-winner, but as is normally the case, Tennessee wrapping this one up didn’t come easy.
The Commanders drove all the way down to the Titans’ two-yard line on the team’s final drive of the game, only to be thwarted by a David Long interception to seal the deal.
Let’s dive a bit deeper into the specifics of Tennessee’s Week 5 win.
