Protecting ball top priority for Titans vs. Colts
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Titans have a new quarterback going into a crucial game against the AFC South division leader knowing one thing they must do immediately.
Not turn the ball over.
The Titans started 3-1 when they didn’t turn the ball over even once. They had a season-high four turnovers in becoming the first team to lose to Jacksonville last weekend.
Holding onto the ball also could help a run game that looks like what coach Mike Munchak wants one week only to disappear the next.
Now they have lost Jake Locker for the rest of the season with Ryan Fitzpatrick taking over starting Thursday against the Colts.
Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said Tuesday they will be all right if they eliminate the turnovers.
