NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Dick LeBeau knew what was coming and he was ready.
He joked with us he hoped we’d all have called in sick, but then he was as accountable as you want a coach to be after a terrible performance by the defense he coordinates.
“That’s not us,” he said. “We’re going to prove that Sunday, that’s it’s not us. It was a very poor game. We let them hold the ball, we let them go on long drives, we never gave our offense a chance to get the ball back. You’re not going to have success if we don’t play better than that.”
Sunday in South Florida the Titans defensive coordinator and his players will try to rebound from a 57-14 loss to the Texans in Miami against the Dolphins.
In Houston, the Titans didn’t matchup Logan Ryan on DeAndre Hopkins, and the veteran receiver overwhelmed Adoree’ Jackson, Brice McCain and LeShaun Sims.
