The Tennessee Titans’ luck from the past two weeks ran out in Week 9, as head coach Mike Vrabel’s team crashed and burned on both sides of the ball in a 30-20 defeat to the Carolina Panthers.
First, we’ll start with the recap and then get on to the instant analysis.
Recap
Tennessee’s offense was asleep for the entire first half, as the Panthers were able to jump out to a 17-0 lead. The Titans continually set themselves back with crushing penalties that made an already inept offense have to overcome even more. Inexplicably, the Titans failed to even try to establish the run against the 27th-ranked run defense.
