Titans killed their chance with third-and-2 call, execution
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Third-and-2, 1:20 left in the game, Titans at the 49ers' 32-yard line.
On a play that could have gotten the first down the Titans needed to force the hosts to burn two timeouts and gain ground for a game-winning field goal, they handed off to DeMarco Murray, who ran into center Ben Jones' back for no gain.
The 50-yard field goal that followed gave them a short-lived 1-point lead.
Jimmy Garappolo then carved up Tennessee, positioning the Niners for a 45-yard Robbie Gould field goal and a 25-23 win.
The conversation about the play-call after the game suggested our finger-pointing is not as cut-and-dried as we might think.
