The Tennessee Titans were the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs this year but a lot of people had their doubts on how they would fare, mostly because their QB, Ryan Tannehill, just isn’t as good as the best QBs in the AFC.
Well, the Titans had their season come to an end Saturday with a 19-16 loss to the Bengals and wouldn’t you know it – Tannehill’s brutal performance is a big reason why they’re packing their things and calling it a year.
Tannehill threw 3 INTs, including one in the final minute that led to the game-winning FG. He also threw an interception on his team’s first play of the game, which helped set the tone for a Bengals team that won the AFC North and advanced to the AFC title game for the first time since the 1988 season.
An interception on his team’s first play of the game and an INT on his team’s last play of the game? WOOF.
Ryan Tannehill had 0 interceptions in the last 3 games coming into today.
He had 2 total interceptions in 4 career playoff games.

Twitter had reactions:
Mike Vrabel cannot, and should not, say Ryan Tannehill lost that game pretty much by himself. But the rest of us can. #Titans

Ryan Tannehill and the bonehead offensive coordinator lost that game for Tennessee, meanwhile thats exactly why you draft a kicker

@CBSSports it’s ok to put all the blame on Ryan Tannehill. We all watched the game. pic.twitter.com/py4y2Q1M8Z

You have AJ Brown and Julio Jones. Yet you throw it Westbrook Irvine on a critical play when he’s covered. Results in a THIRD interception.
Ryan Tannehill is a joke.

Ryan Tannehill threw 3 interceptions for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The #Titans need a QB.
