As most Titans trumpeted 'Any win's a good win,' one offered a more honest assessment
CLEVELAND – Just as their boss wants, the Titans spat back the conventional, cliched, expected answers in the locker room after a 12-9 overtime win over the woeful Browns Sunday.
I don’t hold it against the players, honestly.
Mike Mularkey says any win is a good win, it’s hard to win in the NFL, the Browns are a good team on the cusp. It’s understandable, too, that the coach wants to hear his players echo the themes.

But it’s nonsense, frankly.
Sure, finding a way to win it and get to 4-3 and stay atop the AFC South is significant. Sure, winning it is better than losing it. Sure, anyone with a stake in the team would happily have taken an overtime win against a bad Jaguars team on Christmas Eve last year.
The display on the shore of Lake Erie, however, showed us a team that is far, far less than it expects and claims to be.
And only one guy had the gumption to say so.
