NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The bottom has fallen out on the suddenly dysfunctional Tennessee Titans.
The team looked so good at 5-2 sitting atop the AFC South and scoring more points than anyone else in the NFL. Then the Titans just started to implode.
Not even a soap opera writer could dream up all the plot twists and turns this franchise has gone through during a dramatic collapse with five straight losses, including two where the Titans blew leads.
The Titans deny they have quit. They also insist they haven’t been distracted by adding Randy Moss, Vince Young’s histrionics after a season-ending thumb injury, the offensive coordinator’s cancer diagnosis and even cornerback Cortland Finnegan’s brawl with Andre Johnson.
Finnegan says he could not have imagined this after the Titans were “rocking and rolling” at 5-2.
