NASHVILLE – The Titans put a new quarterback – Josh Dobbs – in the saddle against the Cowboys.
But in the end, Dobbs and the Titans just didn’t have enough firepower – and they made too many mistakes — in a 27-13 loss at Nissan Stadium.
“It was a great opportunity to evaluate Josh, and we’ll make a decision going forward,” Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said after the game, already looking ahead to the team’s season-finale against the Jaguars. “I thought he did some good things, and obviously a couple of throws he’d like to have back. We’ll see where things are here in a couple of days.
“… We just beat ourselves too much (in the game). It is too hard to beat the Cowboys, or good football teams, when you beat yourself. But I thought we competed. I was extremely proud of the way the 47 guys we had up tonight competed. We gave ourselves a chance but did too many things that hurt us.”
The Titans showed some spunk in the contest, however, and Dobbs showed some promise.
In his first NFL start, Dobbs completed 20-of-39 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown for the Titans, but he also threw an interception in the fourth quarter. The former University of Tennessee star kept the football for a souvenir following his touchdown, since it was his first career touchdown pass.
But that didn’t keep the Titans from losing their sixth straight game to drop to 7-9.
“It’s a unique situation, and a wonderful opportunity that I really embraced and had a lot of fun with,” Dobbs said after the game. “There’s obviously things that I can do better, and be better at. We’ll dive into that, because I know we have a big one coming up.
“But I thought the guys, how we fought throughout the game, it was great to see.”
The Titans return to action next weekend against the Jaguars in Jacksonville, on either January 7 or January 8. The exact date and time for the contest – which will decide the AFC South – will be announced in the coming days.
Vrabel didn’t say which quarterback – Dobbs or…
