The Tennessee Titans were able to upset the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. Following the momentous victory, Ryan Tannehill touted the team's toughness and “belief” in itself, per Pro Football Talk:
“This team believes in each other,” Tannehill said in his postgame press conference. “We’ve believed in each other all year and it’s come through trial. We’ve been in situations like this, tough games, tight games, and found a way to make a play and win. It’s happened over and over again throughout the year so there’s a lot of belief. The game may be ugly, may be in a tight spot but we’re just going to keep playing, keep plugging away and somebody will make a play, and we were able to do that tonight.”
Earlier in the season, it appeared as if Tennessee would miss out on the postseason with Marcus Mariota as the quarterback. But ever since Tannehill was named the starter, the Titans have rallied behind the veteran quarterback to go on a surprising playoff run.

The 31-year-old quarterback finished with only 72 passing yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Nevertheless, Tennessee has proven that they can win in a variety of ways over the past couple of months.
Up next, the Titans will get a chance to square off against the Baltimore Ravens. While the Ravens are going to be favored to win, Tennessee is showing that they can beat anyone in a multitude of ways.
