PITTSBURGH – For the third time in four games the Titans did their best to be the league’s top philanthropic team.
They gave the ball to the Texans four times on Nov. 21 and handed it to the Patriots five times on Nov. 28.

Sunday, they presented it to the Steelers four times, washing away a great number of other statistical advantages and the No. 1 AFC seed they could have held with a win. They slinked out of town with a 19-13 loss that dropped them to 9-5 and closed their lead on the Colts to one game in the standing plus a head-to-head tie-breaker.
They host the 49ers Thursday night, and if they can’t get ball security down as they did in their one recent reprieve against the Jaguars when they had four takeaways and no giveaways, they will continue to struggle.
