The Tennessee Titans ended their three-game losing streak on Sunday when they notched a 17-10 win over the Carolina Panthers, which also improved their record at Nissan Stadium to 4-0 on the season.
While the result was certainly welcomed after Tennessee hadn’t won a game in a month, the fashion in which the Titans accomplished it was not pretty, which was especially frustrating when you consider the Panthers sport the league’s worst record.
Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis, who was good in the first half before struggling in the second, talked about the need to build off the victory following the game.
“A win is a win,” Levis said, per Mickey Ryan of 104.5 The Zone. “We talk about how hard winning in this league is. That’s one where it kind of feels like you didn’t, but we got it and we’ve got to keep building on it and keep rolling from there. It’s the first time in awhile that we got a win, so it’s a good feeling.”
Now, a look at what else the Titans had to say about Week 12.

Mike Vrabel says the #Titans need to block better for Derrick Henry and “get him going” more consistently.
Love what he saw from Henry running with space late in the game.
Vrabel gave him a shoutout for reaching 9,000 career rushing yards. “We need 10,000.” pic.twitter.com/ZltUE6JREG

Vrabel said taking Thielen out of the game today was a key. He had one catch for two yards.

#Titans QB Will Levis asked how he explains being 4-0 at Nissan Stadium and 0-7 away from Nissan Stadium…
“I guess we’ve got good fans.”

#Titans HC Mike Vrabel showed the defense a funny video on Friday about keeping the Mac n cheese recipe simple, to avoid messing it up.
The same applied to the defensive game plan for Sunday – when the Titans went back to the basics. @GrindSimmons94 loves Mac n cheese btw. pic.twitter.com/oKcsfrqw52

WR DeAndre Hopkins
This guy scored two TDs and climbed spots up the record book but he still wants more from himself. That's what you have to respect about Derrick Henry.
