The Tennessee Titans have now put together back-to-back disappointing performances after dropping their second straight contest in Week 6 with a 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
As if things weren’t bad enough for a flailing Titans team, now we have to bring into question the team’s effort after defensive lineman and captain, Jeffery Simmons, said this following the loss:
“We need to figure something out,” Simmons said, per Paul Kuharsky. “We need to figure out the guys who are going to fight and figure out the guys who want to be out there, not the guys that don’t want to be out there.
“That’s what it needs to be. We need to reevaluate our team and figure it out. That’s the message: let’s figure it out who wants to play football for the Titans.”
The Titans will have the bye week to figure out what their next steps are going forward. For now, here’s a look what else the team had to say.
