The Tennessee Titans fell to 7-4 after a controversial ending against the Cincinnati Bengals resulted in a 20-16 loss. It was a gut-wrenching end to an overall sloppy day in which the Titans seemed lethargic throughout this one.
The defense played well for the most part, but it didn’t look anything close to the elite unit we’re accustomed to seeing.
However, in the end it was a controversial, ticky-tack penalty on fourth-and-Goal that ultimately put the nail in the Titans’ chances, as a ridiculous call on Kevin Strong prevented the Titans’ offense from having a chance to at least tie the game with just under two minutes remaining.
As you would imagine, this ending caused quite a ruckus on Twitter.
Many fans were upset with the controversial call, while others were holding Strong accountable. The overall feeling was frustration at the team’s collective effort in another big game in which the team fell short in.
With that said, let’s take a closer look at all the different reactions to this unfortunate ending that gave Tennessee its fourth loss of the year.
I truly think Todd downing expects Henry to just run for 100 yards every game. No matter how obvious the run call is.

I’m not blaming the defense today but 1 sack on Burrow hurt.
Bengals also won every 50/50 ball.
Derrick couldn’t get anything going and the play-calling still sucks.
This one was just all-around U-G-L-Y.#Titans

Wow! That was some BS! Special teams why did you have to give up this game like that! I wanted to win this game so badly! This defense needs Autry back ASAP! We played like trash on all sides of the ball! #Titans

#Titans remain winless against teams with winning records.
Have scored 32 total points in 8 quarters against the Bengals. #NotGood

Kevin Strong gets a personal foul and the Bengals get a first down. That would be ball game.

I never really had a strong feeling one way or the other on Todd Downing but I’m 100% out on him now.
Good weather, bad weather, sunny and windy it’s all the same.
Not all his fault, roster is what it is.
But you can legit sit at home and say out loud what play is coming.

Titans defense gave you the entire 1st half of drives starting at the 40-yard line and just pissed them away.
Defense did their job all things considered. https://t.co/9V5RTCkxWT
