Drive 5

After a Chargers three-and-out, the TItans took over at midfield, their best starting field position of the game.

After two carries by Henry that picked up 11 yards and a first down, Tannehill tried to throw a pass but Uchenna Nwosu got a hand on his arm from behind to alter the attempt, and the pass was intercepted by Roderick Teamer.

Tannehill went 0-for-1 with the interception, but it’s hard to blame the turnover on him, as it was mainly just poor blocking on the right side. Nwosu just took advantage of poor blocking by Jonnu Smith, and it forced the interception.

All in all, it was just a disappointing drive that started out very well with two solid runs by Derrick Henry. This was just the fifth turnover of the season for the Titans, a team that has surprisingly not made a habit of turning the ball over up to this point, as three of the four turnovers coming into this game came last week in a loss to the Broncos.
