That’s a bingo!!!
Think about this play as a microcosm for the second half of the game:
-Bince decleats Tannehill
-the ball is jarred loose
-the Titans recover
Instead of getting a red-zone turnover, the Titans score. It seemed like every chance for a turnover for the Steelers was instead a positive play for the Titans. (Bince almost bats down a pass, Minkah has a good angle on the pass... but, instead, it’s a 75-yard TD.)
Meanwhile, it seemed that every ball that popped into the air became a Titans turnover. On one series, it was a slip by Conner on first down, a slip by DJ on second down, and an incomplete pass (I actually don’t recall the exact play on third down). Charles Davis kept lauding the Titans defense for “stopping” the Steelers.
The Titans did very little to “stop” the Steelers; the grass “stopped” the Steelers on two of those downs on the aforementioned series.
ANALYSIS:
Luck (to a degree) turned what could have been a 38-10 second-half blowout into a 27-24 nail biter.
SUMMATION:
Despite Ben having his one “WTF game**” of the season we
still won. I’ll take it.
**(he has one every season... and, it is now out of the way)
