The Tennessee Titans coughed up their Week 15 game to the Pittsburgh Steelers on the strength of four turnovers, all of which were turned into points.
However, some questionable calls on one drive were also to blame for the loss, as those three flags directly helped Pittsburgh score its only touchdown of the game.
Following the loss, Titans safety Kevin Byard didn’t mince words about those three flags, according to Nick Gray of The Tennessean:
“I don’t know if I get fined or whatever, but I think the majority of the calls in this game were complete BS,” Byard said after the game. “I think the pass interference on Buster [Skrine], I think he was turned around and playing the ball. He was just hand fighting. Even the hit on Kristian [Fulton], I don’t think it was a dirty play. I think he was just trying to make a play on the ball and lodge the ball out. Unfortunately the guy got hurt. Also, the pass interference (by Fulton) in the end zone.
“So, the one drive fueled by penalties, they got a touchdown. The rest of the game, I really felt like the defense was flying around and playing with speed. I told all the guys while the QB was kneeling that I was really proud of the effort the defense played with today.”
Now, a look at what head coach Mike Vrabel and other Titans players had to say about the Week 15 loss to the Steelers.
