All-22 Review: Titans-Steelers

Related Topics: Thursday Night Football

Thursday Night Football exposed the Titans in a lot of ways. While I don’t think it’s always a good idea to take too much away from a road game played on 4 days rest — Thursday night games tend to massively favor the home team — I do feel like much of what went wrong for the Titans in this game had been bubbling under the surface for weeks. The rookie receivers making rookie mistakes, left guard being a problem, DeMarco Murray running indecisively... those were all things that have shown up in small quantities all year. Up until Thursday night the Titans had been able to mask those issues by excelling elsewhere or making a big play at the right time, but in Pittsburgh they all showed up at the same time and the result was just as ugly as you’d think.
