In the second half, they passed less and went to the run. We stopped the run. We contained Lendale White and Chris Johnson pretty good in the run. They had a lot of 3 and outs. The word coming from the Texans postgame was "the defense gave them a chance to win" in the second half - the offense just couldn't get it done.... If y'all want to call it "Tennesse sat on the lead" - fine..... I think the defense had something to do with it, though....

Check out the play-by-play.
On the Titans' first series of the third quarter, they went run, pass, pass, run, run, pass, run, pass. That's eight plays and four passes. That's not backing off.
On the Titans' second series of the third quarter, they went pass, run, pass, pass and kicked a field goal. That's not backing off.
On their third series of the third quarter, they started at their 9 and went run, run, run and punt.
On their fourth series of the third quarter, they went run, run, pass, pass, punt.
Anyway, that should clear up those of you who claim the Titans backed off in the third quarter.
