142 yards and a TD (think he was the only WR besides Adams to go over 100 on us all season). The difference was Tannehill turning the ball over 3x. Which isn’t really on the coaching.
I didn't say anything was on the coaching, I just said they didn't play very well against us. Ultimately, the coach is responsible for the performances (even if that isn't always fair).
Elements did sure. Defensive line played great absolutely. Couldn't cover the pass at all though. Sure one long play on Chase, but also gave up 300+ to Burrow and his atrocious O-Line.
AJ Brown had a bunch of yards sure, but they were on like 3 plays? He obviously made those plays, but watching the game I never felt like he had a day against us. Felt more like his game was a case of stats looking better than the performance, but sure, can concede on this point. Just felt like he was only a factor in very small doses.
A pick on the first play of the game, when you have Derrick Henry back... sure 'element of surprise and all that', but you give the RB the ball. Silly playcall.
If it hadn't have been for a very fortuitous INT, the Titans would've have put a TD on us. At home, as the #1 seed.
But yes I would agree Tannehill's picks were ultimately the difference in the game.
