Who was the Tennessee Titans highest graded player in Week 15 loss?

The Tennessee Titans fell to the San Francisco 49ers 37-24 in Week 15, and while the score showcases the 49ers’ dominance, it says nothing about the effort put in by the Titans.

No one expected the Titans to win this game; they were double-digit underdogs. The 49ers are on their way to a playoff push, and the Titans have long since been eliminated. What people might not have expected, though, is for the Titans to play as hard as they did. Nor would anyone have expected Jeffery Simmons to catch a touchdown pass, but that’s exactly what happened.

The Titans battled hard against a far superior 49ers’ team, and they never stopped playing. For a team that has no postseason aspirations, it’s a great sign that they are continuing to put forth effort. It shows the team wants to improve, that each individual player wants to improve, and that winning is still the goal, even if it’s not the focus.
