The Tennessee Titans have let go of the rope late against the Cleveland Browns, giving up an uncontested touchdown to Amari Cooper on a coverage bust by cornerback Kristian Fulton and safety Amani Hooker.

The 44-yard touchdown put the Browns up 27-3 and ended any fleeting hopes the Titans had of making a comeback. It has been an awful day for the Titans on both sides of the ball, but making mental mistakes that give up big plays is salt in the wound for the Titans.
