The Tennessee Titans (3-6) have now suffered back-to-back losses after dropping their Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 20-6.
The loss is Tennessee’s fourth in its last five games and the team is now 0-6 away from Nissan Stadium this season. What’s even worse, the Titans have now gone a full calendar year without winning a road game.
There were really no positives to take away from the loss. Even Will Levis struggled, but it’s hard to put too much blame on him after getting no support from his offensive line, which was awful in pass protection and run-blocking.
Tennessee’s defense wasn’t much better. The pass-rush failed to get consistent pressure and that allowed the Bucs to make big plays down the field, with the majority of them going to Mike Evans, who had a big day.
Following the loss, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and players shared their thoughts on the lackluster effort. Here’s what they had to say:

Will Levis said the #Titans thought they'd get different opportunities to go to DeAndre Hopkins. They weren't there as much so the offense tried to adjust. Levis said he won't force it to Hopkins. pic.twitter.com/mQhaCcg8Aj

Peter Skoronski said the success the Bucs had up front with games wasn't anything they didn't see on film. Just didn't execute well enough. Skoronski also gave Will Levis props for continuing to come back after getting hit over and over again. pic.twitter.com/HllQF1b0QO
