What Ryan Tannehill, Titans said about Week 1 loss to Saints

The Tennessee Titans started off their 2023 season on the wrong foot with an ugly 16-15 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon.

While the defense and kicker Nick Folk played well, the offense was downright bad, led by one of the worst performances quarterback Ryan Tannehill has ever had wearing the two-tone blue.

Tannehill was picked off three times and should have had two more. He ended up completing just 16-of-34 passes for 198 yards en route to a laughable passer rating of 28.8.

“It’s a sick feeling in your gut, weren’t good enough in the red zone, missed opportunities, all of it,” Tannehill said after the game, per Kayla Anderson of 104.5 The Zone. “On the whole, we just have to be better.”

Tannehill, who didn’t want to go into detail about his three turnovers, isn’t the only one who was sick after seeing that performance.

Here’s a look at what else Tannehill and the Titans had to say about the Week 1 loss.
