This is what I was preaching in the game day thread during the second half. When Fournette plays we just run heavy even when it never works and only pass when it is predictable and necessary. Hand cuff offense. I've tried watching the Ravens, Colts, Texans, Bengals games again to see what was different. Really we were able to just set and throw a lot to beat man coverage. Once this happened the running game was magically there. I know we had Wells out there but you can't play scared. When the game finally rested on us needing a TD to win and having to rhythm on offense Blake was just lobbing stuff off his back foot. It was either a very poorly managed game or the Titans defense was just elite.
