NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans realize they have to play better and know exactly what they need to fix.
They also aren’t panicking after a one-point loss on the road in one of the NFL’s toughest places to play.
Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that new right guard Daniel Brunskill reminded him after their 16-15 loss in New Orleans that the San Francisco 49ers also lost their opener a year ago and still reached the NFC championship game.
“We need to keep improving,” Vrabel said. “And we say this all the time. The teams that improve are going to be the ones that are playing in January.”
The Titans didn’t score a single touchdown with Ryan Tannehill playing his worst game. That didn’t help an offense that ranked 28th in the NFL last season in scoring.
