Young, struggling Titans on pace to shatter league record for most points allowed in season
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Defensive coordinator Jerry Gray knows his Titans have a big problem and hopes they're embarrassed enough to fix it.
Quickly.
The Titans have given up an NFL-worst 151 points through the first month, 20 more than the next closest team. They are giving up an average 37.7 points per game. That's a pace of 604 points, which would shatter the league record for most points allowed in a season of 533 by the 1981 Baltimore Colts.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Gray said Thursday the young Titans can't give up touchdowns as soon as they get off the bus. The Titans have been outscored 41-13 in the first quarter and each opponent has scored either on the first or second possession.
The Titans (1-3) visit Minnesota (3-1) on Sunday.
