Green Bay Packers’ Mike Neal (96) tackles Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson (28) in the first quarter of an NFL football game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. Coming in to help Neal are teammates Clay Matthews (52) and Morgan Burnett (42).GREEN BAY, Wis. – In a season of bad losses, this might have been the worst one yet for the Tennessee Titans.
Jake Locker was sacked seven times, the defense gave up its most points in more than three years and it took Tennessee until 1:39 left in the game to avoid a shutout in 55-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that more than one of the Titans described as “embarrassing.”
“That’s just not acceptable, and we let it happen,” coach Mike Munchak said. “Thank God we have that [game next week] because I wouldn’t want this to be our last game of the year.”
The Titans (5-10) finish the season next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and owner Bud Adams promised he’ll move quickly afterward to make sure Tennessee doesn’t endure another season like this.
A year after finishing 9-7 and missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker, the Titans have fallen apart.
