The Tennessee Titans suffered yet another tough loss in Week 16, this time at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, 20-17.
Despite missing a ton of key players, the underdog Titans managed to play the Seahawks tough and nearly pulled off an upset, but they simply couldn’t make the stop down the stretch when they needed to.
While the game was closer than expected, head coach Mike Vrabel isn’t subscribing to the idea of a moral victory.
“There are no moral victories in life, there are no moral victories in professional football,” Vrabel said.
“I thank the staff, I thank the players, but we strive for much more than that. That’s plain and simple; that’s the mindset that we must have to get back out of this thing and find a way to win next week.”
If there’s one good thing to come out of this loss, it’s that the Titans will almost certainly improve their draft positioning from the No. 9 pick.
Now, a look at what else Vrabel and the Titans had to say.
