One last look at the bad play from Titans vs Browns.

The Tennessee Titans now have an 8-4 record with their recent loss to the Cleveland Browns. However, the browns are still behind the Titans in the standing due to the wildcard spot.

There is no hiding how bad the Tennessee Titans played in the first half of their Week 13 game. While they did get their stuff together in the second half and play the type of football we have been used to seeing, it was simply too late.

The Titans lost the game 41-35, but it was really over at halftime as the Browns were up by 28.

This game could have been completely different had a few things not happened in the first quarter. However, the Browns came out and played like a team out for vengeance after the Titans played spoiler to an offseason’s worth of hype when they completely derailed the Browns hype train in Week 1 of the 2019 season.

That was the last season opener that former second overall pick Marcus Mariota started for Tennessee, and he actually played well. However, that is a different conversation for another day.

You might remember that as one of many great Kevin Byard games including an interception on Baker Mayfield.

Derrick Henry also showed out in that game with had a massive 75-yard receiving touchdown along with 80 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown. However, it was not the same story for those players in this matchup. Byard continued his disappointing season and Derrick Henry also could have played much better, in fact let’s go ahead and talk about Henry.
