Titans were going for 2 if they pulled off late TD against Raiders

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Raiders-Titans game was ending in regulation one way or another.

Coach Mike Mularkey's intentions became moot when two penalties and a failed fourth-down pass left the Titans 17-10 losers to Oakland Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

But had the Titans scored, they were going to attempt a 2-point conversion and either win the game 18-17 or lose it 17-16.

"I just thought, 'We're 6 feet away from winning the game,'" Mularkey said. "And I told them, when we started on the 20, I told the offense before they ran out on the field, when we score the touchdown -- and we were pretty confident we were going to go 80, our team is very confident in our ability to come back -- I told them then that we would go for 2.
