Loser No. 1: Tajae Sharpe

It was not the most productive day for Tajae Sharpe, who may have played his final regular season game for the Titans.

Though he has mainly been sure-handed in previous weeks while filling in for the injured Adam Humphries as the team’s No. 3 receiver, he had a crucial third-down drop on the final drive of the first half which led to a Titans punt.

A catch there could have extended the drive and led to the Titans taking a two-possession lead, but instead the team went into the half up by seven.

Though it didn’t affect the game too much in the grand scheme of things, you really hate to see Sharpe drop those types of passes. He finished with just one catch for 13 yards on two total targets.

That drop is more than likely just a flash in the pan, and I’m sure Sharpe will come up with some crucial plays if and when he is called upon during the playoffs.
