Tennessee Titans first-year head coach Brian Callahan was desperate for a win and earned one against the New England Patriots at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.
Callahan got choked up after the 20-17 overtime verdict, the second victory of his young career. It snapped a three-game losing skid for the Titans.
“I mean, look at me,” Callahan told reporters while fighting back tears, per a team-provided video. “I needed it bad, man.
“It was,” Callahan said, pausing to collect himself, “yeah, needed it.”
Callahan credited the Titans for showing resiliency against Jerod Mayo’s Patriots.
