Prior to the game, Tennessee Titans CEO Burke Nihill expressed confidence in the leadership alongside general manager Mike Borgonzi: “I believe that Mike Borgonzi and Robert Saleh are ultimately going to get this team out of the woods and restore it to competitive football. The train is on the tracks. It just hasn’t picked up momentum, but it will.”
