Nashville, TN – In their return to Nissan Stadium after two weeks on the road, the Tennessee Titans dropped to a 2-11 record with a loss to the New York Giants.
QB Zach Mettenberger became the third quarterback in franchise history to start at least six games as a rookie. He was 14-of-24 passing for 125 yards with an interception, but in the fourth quarter his day came to a premature end for the second consecutive week when he aggravated a right shoulder injury.
