Tennessee Titans left tackle Rodger Saffold and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons have taken issue with a comment made by Cincinnati Bengals tight end, C.J. Uzomah.
Uzomah was a guest on The Chris Collinsworth Podcast and said that the Titans were scared to give the Bengals the ball back late in regulation. Of course, the Titans ended up doing just that after Ryan Tannehill threw an interception, helping to set the Bengals up for a game-winning field goal.
“We’re on the sideline and we’re watching our defense and we’re kind of seeing how Tennessee is playing… oh, they’re scared of us,” Uzomah said. “If we get the ball back we are going to win this game. That was our mindset the entire time… They know if they give it back to us, it’s game over. And then we get the ball back and we’re like ‘it’s game over… it’s over.'”
