NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The feelings of frustration and disappointment were written all over the faces of players in the Tennessee Titans' locker room after their 33-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's season finale canceled their postseason plans.
The suddenness that comes with an unexpected loss in a "win-and-in" game and with players having to pack their bags doesn't usually give way to thoughts of a bright future. But that wasn't the case as Titans players spoke to the media after their exit interviews Monday. Talk of disappointment that the season was over was quickly followed by an optimistic outlook on the future.
