Whatever the Titans did defensively, you could feel Ben wanting to take some risky shots down field and that's when the offense went to crap. Too close for comfort, but 6-0 is 6-0.

Yeah, that shot in the end zone that got picked. Bad decision. He was covered up. Bed had a guy wide open accross the middle. I think it was ebron, not sure
6-0 doesn't suck.

I'm not sure how much I blame Ben for taking that shot in the end zone, as you would think your alleged #1 WR would be able to beat a LB down the middle of the field, yet #55 ran stride for stride with Juju.
There were at least two other occasions where Juju could not separate from him.
I like Juju. He's a good kid and solid possession receiver, but he's slow.
They definitely need to let someone else overpay him next year.
Wouldn't be surprised if we we meet them one more time. They are a solid football team.
6-0 does feel pretty good!

That 55 guy made 3-4 plays today and never turned around he just ran at the WR. Dude is living right I guess, because he got lucky.

We’re seeing this more an more throughout the league...teams coming from WAY behind. Titans are a good team. Can’t try to run out an entire half. To be honest, when the Steelers went up 14-0, I totally expected it to be a nail-biter.
Titans also got some lucky breaks there with some tipped balls caught etc. Still one helluva football team, they don't give up. And that OL of theirs gave our front 7 fits.
Something I'd like to know though. That OPI on the Steelers when Chase caught it right at the sticks, the ref never said who it was on. Looking at the replay, I didn't see anybody close to an OPI. What the hell was that about?
6-0 baby.

A WR needs to win those matchups, though.
Ben probably should not have thrown last one, given how tight the coverage was, but I think it was an instance of Ben anticipating the matchup and predetermining that he was going to throw it, trusting Juju to win
Thank you Roger, your attempt to jerk us didn't work today...

It’s my fault. First time all year I took a peak. I turned the game on 2nd Q when we were smashing them. Fist play or so was that 70plus catch and run. Stayed watching. My bad guys.

From my count, the Titans got at least three big plays off deflected passes. Two turnovers on defense and a long 3rd down conversion on their first scoring drive.
I also think the 70+ yard TD by Brown was partially tipped by Vince Williams.
And their WRs caught some pretty fortunate tipped passes. Whatever, they're still a helluva football team. Physical & no quit bunch.

Still waiting to see the OPI replay that led to that 3rd and 12. Also, Claypool has the first down.

The Titans made a big change in second half and Ben had no where to go. Baltimore sitting with a bye took note I'm sure. Will be one heck of a game next week. We could not catch a break from some officiating spotting ball to non call face masks, just was going down hill the complete second half. Our secondary was turned around on way too many plays and piss poor tackling. Just snowballed after we went in at half without three points.

I believe other receivers were blocking in front of him when he caught it. I don't really know the rule, but sometimes it gets called, sometimes it doesn't.

This ^^^^^^^. Turtle ball in second half. Also about three plays where Steelers didn’t take the short distance to convert and threw for end zone instead.
