Critiquing a Win

The Tennessee Titans ended their losing streak with a victory at Cleveland. The offense, defense and special teams all delivered big plays, and then everyone held on at the finish. The offensive line was surprisingly good and was effective in both the run and pass game. Running back Tony Pollard showed big-play ability that was absent through the first 12 games and delivered on the most notable performances of his career. Cam Ward was not at his best on the field and was not particularly happy about it afterward, and the latter is not necessarily a bad thing. Up next is a trip to San Francisco and a matchup with the 49ers, a team that has won much more than it has lost and should be ready mentally and physically.
