The Tennessee Titans’ season came to an abrupt, devastating end on Saturday after they fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round, 19-16. - The story of the game was the poor performance of Ryan Tannehill, who missed multiple throws and tossed three interceptions, all of which were serious momentum killers. - It also didn’t help that Tennessee saw shoddy play-calling from offensive coordinator, Todd Downing, which has been an issue all season long. - Tennessee’s pass-rush was historically good in this game, notching nine sacks and tying the single-game playoff record. There were no doubt some blemishes on defense overall, but the unit did more than enough. - Even with all of their issues, the Titans had two cracks at taking a late lead with the game tied at 16, but they squandered both opportunities, paving the  way for Cincinnati to ultimately win the game on a last-second field goal. - After the game, the shock the Titans players were feeling was palpable. Here’s a look at what Tannehill, head coach Mike Vrabel, and other Titans had to say about the crushing defeat.
