Titans Struggle in Commanders Week 13 Versus Titans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Titans (3-9) couldn\u2019t replicate their surprise win from the previous week. Their offense had more penalty yards than total yards<\/strong> in the first half and didn\u2019t score until late in the second quarter. The loss extinguishes any lingering playoff hopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
