If it was really a pick, he made the pick and then fumbled the ball away. Either way possession was changed and it's first down Titans. Sucks, really bad luck, but so it goes sometimes.

2) Minshew doesn't look great and has totally sucked at times, but at the same time he's a backup QB that has been thrust into the starter position for pretty much the whole season. It's not usually a recipe for success, and it's not like anyone thought the dude was another Steve Young waiting in the wings or something. Still, I wish he'd be safer with the ball.

3) Only being down 4 with how bad this team has played and getting the ball to start the 2nd half is pretty damn good. Plus here's a coaching staff who actually makes adjustments. I don't know if they'll win, but I'm not feeling horrible right now.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but very questionable he completed the catch on the pick (if it was a pass....and it was!)
