What Titans said about embarrassing loss to Jaguars

The Tennessee Titans seemed to have the perfect opponent to bounce back with in a Week 14 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the exact opposite happened after a 36-22 blowout loss.

After a fast start, the Titans’ were simply dominated in every phase of the game. The offense went into its shell and didn’t do much, the defense was roasted by the Jags’ passing attack, and Tennessee couldn’t measure up on special teams, either.

A loss in and of itself would’ve been bad enough, but the fact that the Titans got blown out was the absolute worst-case scenario for a team that desperately needed a win on Sunday.

With the loss, the Titans fall to 7-6 and allow the Jags to hang around in the division, while also failing to inch closer to closing out the Indianapolis Colts.

The win in Nashville was Jacksonville’s first since 2013, and the Titans now have their first three-game losing streak since 2018. Here’s what Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and players had to say about the embarrassing loss.
