New Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan revealed this week during an interview with This is Football that there's one play you'll never see him call in Nashville.
And it's because he called it during a red zone situation with the Cincinnati Bengals a couple of years ago and it was an "unmitigated disaster".
Callahan mentioned that one of his main responsibilities during Bengals games was helping head coach Zac Taylor with red zone play calls. In a game against the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 (Callahan says 2021 in the clip, but it happened in 2022), Callahan called a Philly Special and it was a disaster. Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd was sacked by Ravens defensive back Marcus Peters for a 12-yard loss.
The play went so badly that Callahan vowed to never call it again.
"I was so mad at myself after that, just such a dumb selection of recommendations for play calls that I very much regret," said Callahan.
"You won't see that (Philly Special) at all (with Titans)," added Callahan. "To the whole league, you won't see me do that one time. That's what happens, you get scarred on plays and you're like 'nope, I'm never doing that again'."
That's one play that teams won't have to defend against in the red zone when playing the Titans.
