The Tennessee Titans suffered their latest road loss in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which dropped their record to 0-5 away from Nissan Stadium and 3-5 overall.
Rookie quarterback Will Levis still managed to impress despite the loss, but that didn’t change the fact that he was frustrated with the outcome.
“Losing sucks,” Levis said, per Jim Wyatt. “It’s so hard to win games, and when you have an opportunity like that to win it at the end and it doesn’t happen, it makes you feel a whole lot worse.
“Credit to them — they made the plays when they needed to, and we didn’t.”
“You don’t lose it late — there’s always other things that go into it, opportunities missed, or their ability to make a play when they needed to,” head coach Mike Vrabel said. “It’s good to see us continue to fight … and have an opportunity.”
Now, a look at what else Vrabel, Levis and other Titans had to say about Week 9.

Jeffery Simmons said he wants to watch the film before pointing to not winning up front as a reason why they didn't get sacks today. Simmons is right saying the QB was getting the ball out quick. Kenny Pickett's average yds per completion were 4.5. pic.twitter.com/psZTatOA7y
