Titans learn a very hard lesson
The Tennessee Titans beat the Baltimore Ravens in every way except the score. In the playoffs, turnovers will kill you. The Titans had three turnovers and 12 penalties. The Ravens did just enough to win. They didn’t turn the ball over and they didn’t fumble. You’ve gotta hate losing this way. The Titans beat themselves.
(In the second game of today, the Carolina Panthers are shooting themselves in the foot. Three turnovers in the first half. The Arizona Cardinals are in a game that most folks thought would be a blowout. Larry Fitzgerald is killing the Panthers.)
From ESPN:
As grudge matches go, this was worthy of the WWE. The Baltimore Ravens survived 13-10 against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday thanks to Matt Stover’s 43-yard field goal with 53 seconds remaining.
Two teams with an extreme dislike for each other never stopped pounding it out in the wind and rain.
The difference: Baltimore forced three turnovers and never gave away the ball. (more… )
