True, but I think it caught them off guard. And I’m not totally sure that’s what happened anyway. The TV announcers never even alluded to the possibility, for wiat that’s worth.
But remember, this Tenn team has not won a big game in a while, and it’s not like they were so confident that they were going to score in the first place.
They needed to see how Denver handled the last part of the game yesterday.
They knew to only try to get the first down, so they could run out the clock, it’s called “situational awareness.”
