As Jonnu Smith, Darius Jennings and Nick Williams struggle, Titans over-reliant on top targets
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – A week ago, Darius Jennings dropped a giant pass in overtime and the Titans were able to bail him out.
Sunday at New Era Field, Nick Williams took a turn making the big mistake, and his team couldn’t overcome it.
The Titans lack of passing-game playmakers is a Nashville era-long issue for the team. Corey Davis had a breakout game in the OT win over Philadelphia and showed us what he might be capable of. I was impressed in that game with the attitude he, Tajae Sharpe and Taywan Taylor showed.
But Taylor lost a fumble that killed the Titans early against Buffalo and was the first of three giveaways that led to a 13-12 loss.
There have been too many drops in too many crucial situations by too many people through five games.
Through 5 weeks, the #Titans pass catchers have routinely let down quarterback Marcus Mariota with costly drops on third down, downfield, and in the end zone. Now presenting... a #TitansDropThread pic.twitter.com/voU0G0fL4V
