A game filled with backfires and a sputtering engine ended with a flat – and a 30-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers. “It hurts, especially how it went down,” Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “We didn’t execute, we didn’t play well in the first half and we kept shooting ourselves in the foot, and when you do that it is tough to swallow. “When you come out and...

Nashville had a 4-1 lead entering the third period, but the Flames scored three to tie things up with less than four minutes to play in regulation.
