After looking like they were really finding their groove as winners of six straight games, the New England Patriots did not look good against the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans came into this game highly motivated after a good game against the Dallas Cowboys, and Tennessee was able to have an even better performance against the Patriots. Tennessee came out very strong right away and took the lead at home.
With a good balance of run and pass, the Titans offense was able to keep the Patriots’ defense off balance. For the Patriots, that side of the ball certainly had a lot of problems, and was a main reason why the team found themselves trailing early.
