What happened

B.Nix gifted Tennessee a Q3 pick to X.Woods and lost a fumble to J.Simmons in the second quarter, then M.Mims muffed a punt in the fourth to keep the Titans breathing. The defense bailed everyone out — Z.Allen and N.Bonitto took turns burying C.Ward — but a 20-12 win over Tennessee shouldn't require this much sweat. The scoreboard says victory; the film says something the fanbase isn't ready to name yet.
