The Tennessee Titans Were Embarrased in Houston and the Questions are Piling Up

The Titans got steamrolled late in Houston this weekend after a tough 26-0 loss at the hands of the Texans. The Titans have now dropped to 0-4 and are tied for the worst record in the AFC and the NFL.


In what was a 6-0 game heading into the fourth quarter, the Titans had more than enough chances to tie the game, or even have the lead by that point. Joey Slye, who has been automatic the first three weeks of the season, missed two 40-yard field goals leading up to that point.


The Titans' defense did what they could, but ultimately ran out of gas, giving up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Titans now have more turnovers (five) than touchdowns on the season (three).


Many are curious about the problems going on right now in Tennessee. Who will be traded? Will Brian Callahan be fired? Is Cam Ward a franchise QB? People want answers, and the players within the organization are not thrilled with the start.


Ward was asked in a post-game interview about his stance on the Titans thus far, and he responded by saying, “We A**”. Now that's not the exact thing you want to hear your young QB say, but he is being transparent, and his follow-up response was perfect.


"We're 0-4. At this point, we have nothing to lose. We dropped a quarter of our games, and we've yet to take any action. We have to lock in, especially myself. Offensive line from the defensive line from and special teams, to all three phases, we have to play together. We have not played together this year yet, and that's just something that we want to preach about it every day.


It’s good to see Ward lifting his team and taking accountability for what goes on on the field. The players can hopefully rally behind him, as they have yet to do so with Callahan. Callahan is now 3-20 as the Titans' head coach, and put together a lengthy response when talking about the resilience of his team and the negative responses that have followed.


“My job is to try to lead, and leading’s hard. It’s hard right now," Callahan admitted. "But that’s my job. My job is to continue to fight. Continue to help wherever I can help and keep pushing guys to continue to get better. That’s the only thing you can do when you’re in a spot like this. You just keep coming out and you keep swinging.”


With the Titans playing in Arizona to take on the 2-2 Cardinals this week, the Titans desperately need a win. Morale is at an all-time low, and jobs will soon be on the line. However, the Titans may struggle once again, as they go up against a good dual-threat QB in Kyler Murray and a solid pass defense that the Cardinals possess.


The Titans need to get out of this funk and break this 10-game losing streak dating back to last season. If they start 0-5 or worse, major changes will be coming very soon.
