A 26-3 loss to previously winless Houston left Tennessee with the NFL's worst record, more questions about who can help fix this and another plea for patience
By PAUL KUHARSKY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans wanted us to believe a win over Houston would have been semi-significant because their goal is to “Own the South,” and it would have made them 1-0 in the division.
That was a laughable premise, but we don't need to address it because they didn’t threaten the Texans or the end zone on Sunday. At Nissan Stadium, they fell to 0-5 with a 26-3 loss to a team that came to town winless.
Tennessee owns nothing but the league’s worst record, a bunch of embarrassing stats and pleas for patience -- which is, quite frankly, their only hope. They’ve also got the building next door, which is nearing completion and will be an attraction itself for a little while starting next year, even if this is the level of football the home team plays in it.
“It's not winning the South for sure,” Peter Skoronski said of the team’s awful performance. “Not good enough, offensively from start to finish, pretty much besides the first drive. Just not very good. Not at all what we want.”
