Whisenhunt said the Titans are still fighting. We had multiple situations happen especially with guys going down. He’s the best player on this offense right now, and one of the major reasons they stayed in this game, but Therezie and Worrilow get a share of the ball for their picks.

What, Arthur Blank asked, were a few encouraging words that could be deployed to describe the game just played at dreary Nissan Stadium.
Despite not having Mariota, the Titans still had a chance to win this game, as they have had in multiple games this year.
Mettenberger ended the day 22 of 35 passes for 187 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Zach Mettenberger will take his place. “The only thing we can do is get back in there tomorrow and get prepared for Houston”. “We just need to learn from our mistakes and move forward”. Officials didn’t agree, even after Atlanta coach Dan Quinn challenged the play. “That’s part of this game, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying we’re close”.
This will probably force Coty Sensabaugh out of the nickel position where he’s more comfortable in order to cover Leonard Hankerson.
ACHING SECONDARY: Titans cornerback Perrish Cox also was declared out Friday with an injured hamstring, while safety Michael Griffin is dealing with a sore knee.
Johnny Manziel is expected to remain the Cleveland Browns’ backup quarterback as the National Football League investigates whether he violated its personal conduct policy.
Manziel was questioned on October 12 by police in Avon, Ohio, after he and girlfriend Colleen Crowley argued while the 2012 Heisman Trophy victor drove on a highway.
Manziel practiced all week and Pettine said he’ll probably serve as Cleveland’s No. 2 quarterback against the Rams at St. Louis. Atlanta will make it a two-possession game late, and the Titans won’t have the juice to make a comeback. He spent 10 weeks in a rehab facility during the offseason. Manziel told police he did not strike Crowley. “We want to get him on the field as soon as possible”. Nothing is really going to change for me this week. The Titans will fall to 1-5 after losing to the Falcons 31-20.
“It was a poor decision by me, ” Mettenberger said afterward.
If one loss hurt, imagine how the Titans feel.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Maclin “has passed everything”. “We’re close, but we’re just not quite there”. “But he did, he went through practice today and did a nice job with it”. But at least Julio Jones was back to his spectacular self with nine catches for 92 yards and an 8-yard touchdown reception.
Police say four people invaded and robbed the Tarzana home of Washington Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson.
