Titans: Was Mike Vrabel swayed by Cairo Santos’ desire to kick 4th FG?

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel asked his struggling kicker, Cairo Santos, if he wanted to go out and attempt a fourth field goal in the fourth quarter of the Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills after the kicker had missed the previous three.

Santos had already missed two — one of which was from 50 yards out — and had a third blocked when the Titans were trailing 14-7 and in desperate need of a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Despite the situation and his kicker’s struggles, Vrabel went against all logic and indeed went for the 53-yard field goal.
