The Tennessee Titans fell to 1-2 on the season in Week 3 when they lost to the Cleveland Browns, 27-3. It was no doubt one of the ugliest losses the team has had in quite awhile.
The Titans failed to gain 100 yards of total offense thanks to a putrid showing from the offensive line, which failed in both run-blocking and pass protection, where left tackle Andre Dillard was the biggest issue.

The defense, which is normally Tennessee’s strength, was ineffective, also.
The pass-rush couldn’t finish sacks and get consistent pressure on Deshaun Watson, and the secondary, which also shot itself in the foot with bad penalties, was fully exposed.
Here’s a look at Tennessee’s disastrous Week 3, in photos.
