The New England Patriots advanced to 5-2 at the expense of the now 1-6 Tennessee Titans, who already fired coach Brian Callahan after Week 6. While the Titans have a promising future with quarterback Cam Ward and rookie wide receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, their current squad doesn't have much of a chance to win anything.

Understandably, veteran players might be frustrated, and that's clearly how Tyler Lockett felt after catching just ten balls in seven games.
