NASHVILLE – And we’re on to December.
The Titans ended November with a forgettable performance on Sunday, losing 25-3 to the Jaguars in a game that quashed any positive feelings the team might have had following some close losses in previous weeks.
On this day, the Titans didn’t produce much offense in a game when they once again committed way to many penalties while playing not enough defense.
With the loss, the Titans dropped to 1-11.
Five games remain in this season.
Titans quarterback Cam Ward finished the game 24-of-38 for 141 yards in the contest.
The Titans took an early 3-0 lead on a 28-yard field goal by kicker Joey Slye, which capped a 70-yard drive that was highlighted by 36 rushing yards from running back Tony Pollard.
But the Jaguars answered back with a long scoring drive of their own, capping it off with a three-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence to receiver Jakobi Meyers to make it 7-3.
Following a fumble on the ensuing kickoff by Chimere Dike, the Jaguars scored again on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence to tight end Brenton Strange, and after a two-point conversion, it was 15-3 one play into the second quarter.
After a 45-yard field goal by kicker Cam Little, the Jaguars led the Titans 18-3 at the half.
Mistakes continued to cost the Titans in the second half.
A roughing the punter penalty on Titans safety Mike Brown on fourth-and-20 gave Jacksonville a first down, and the Jaguars ended a 15-play drive with another score, this one a two-yard touchdown run by Bhayshul Tuten to make it 25-3 at the 6:45 mark of the third quarter.
The game featured a pair of scuffles from the two teams, with Titans safety Mike Brown being disqualified from the contest.
The Titans return to action next Sunday against the Browns in Cleveland.
