The Titans played one great half and one bad half of football. The Titans built up a 26-17 halftime lead but were shutout 10-0 in the second half. Vince Young took the Titans on a last minute drive to set up a game-winning field goal, but Rob Bironas had his kick blocked on the last play of the game.

Vince Young played pretty well today against a tough Ravens defense. Young completed 13 of 25 passes for 211 yards and an interception. Young also ran the ball 8 times for 39 yards (4.9 ypc) and a TD. Travis Henry had a good game with 27 carries for 107 yards (4.0 ypc) and a TD. Drew Bennett had a solid game with 6 receptions for 115 yards. TE Bo Scaife caught 2 passes for 48 yards and also had one carry….a 13-yard TD run.

The safeties were busy for the Titans as Chris Hope had 8 tackles and Lamont Thompson had 3 tackles and 2 interceptions. Rookie LB Stephen Tulloch had a good game with 8 tackles. The Titans did an excellent job against the Ravens running game holding them to 50 yards rushing on 21 carries (2.4 ypc). The Titans had a rough time with Steve McNair as the Ravens connected on 29 of 47 passes for 371 net yards passing.

The young Titans deserved to win this football game, but they learned a valuable lesson today…..you have to play two halves of good football to win a game.
