The Tennessee Titans fell further into the abyss of the 2023 campaign after losing their third-straight contest in a blowout defeat at the hands of their division rivals, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was much of the same for Tennessee in Week 11, with the offense showing no signs of life, mostly thanks to putrid blocking upfront, and the defense failed to get pressure, which once again exposed the secondary.
As if all that wasn’t bad enough, the Titans had several self-inflicted wounds via penalties and turnovers that aided the Jaguars on multiple scoring drives.
Tennessee’s struggles over the past year have led many fans to call for head coach Mike Vrabel’s head. However, Vrabel said he isn’t thinking about his job security moving forward.
“I don’t try to concern myself with that,” Vrabel said, according to Paul Kuharsky. “I’ll let you guys fire me each week, or not fire me — I apologize, I appreciate your question, I do. I will always understand that. We have to improve and we have to win, those are things we have to do.”
Here’s a look at what else Vrabel and several Titans players had to say about their latest pathetic showing in a Week 11 loss to the Jaguars.
