Drive 4

The Titans began the third quarter with the ball, and on second down, and after another short run by Henry, Tannehill scrambled around took a sack on 2nd-and-8 and fumbled the ball, but it was luckily recovered by Rodger Saffold. Joey Bosa was the one credited with a sack.

On 3rd-and-14, Tannehill threw it short Jonnu Smith on a crossing route, and Smith made a huge play after initially being short and took the pass 35 yards for another first down.

On 2nd-and-15 following a holding call, Tannehill found Adam Humphries for 9 yards. The following play, Tannehill was sacked for a second time by Bosa, losing 11 yards on the play.

The TItans would be forced to punt.

Tannehill went 2-of-2 for 44 yards and a first down on the drive along with being sacked twice. Both sacks were a result of great plays by Bosa as well as solid coverage. Tannehill did a good job of not forcing anything, but you just hate to see sacks regardless.
