Titans Drop 3rd Straight, Now a Longshot for Playoffs

by ROORshock | 4 years ago | 1 Comments

The Titans continued their late season slide, losing their third straight game to the Kansas City Chiefs 45-35. What was considered to be a daunting task for the defense proved to be even more so, as the Titans secondary got boat raced by the Chiefs blazing fast WR core. While KC boasts the most user friendly roster in the league (and it isn't close) the Titans held their own, keeping it within 2 scores until late in the second half. But it was clear from the first whistle that it was going to be an uphill battle. Now sitting at 7-5, the Titans must win out to even have a shot at the playoffs, and would almost certainly require some form of tiebreaker even if everything goes their way. If they miss the playoffs, there is still plenty of optimism for the future however. Standout 2nd round safety Aashari Crosswell is making a compelling case for defensive rookie of the year. And the Titans still hold a massive edge in the draft with 6 picks in the first 3 rounds thanks to the Jamal Adams trade. Not to mention a very generous amount in cap space. It would not surprise anyone if Tennessee is active in the trade market either, as they have shown they are willing to make a splash by trading for (or away) big name players. When asked for comment, ownership indicated they are still focused on closing out the season, but that they plan to be aggressive in making sure their roster is championship caliber for the 2023 season.
