The Tennessee Titans pulled off the most improbable upset of the 2023 season on Monday night, as they overcame a double-digit deficit in the final minutes to down the Miami Dolphins, 28-27. Previously, the Titans were 0-7 on the year away from the state of Tennessee while the Dolphins were 9-0 in Miami, but Tua Tagovailoa and Co. let this one slip late.

This was a close affair for the majority of the night. In fact, the Titans even held a 13-10 lead entering the final quarter. However, a couple of critical turnovers put Tennessee’s hopes for an upset in jeopardy. With 6:07 remaining in the final stanza, Eric Garror muffed a punt right outside his own end zone, gifting Miami a short field. Raheem Mostert punched in a four-yard touchdown two plays later. On the Titans’ very next play from scrimmage, Derrick Henry fumbled, setting up yet another Mostert touchdown. Now down 27-13 with 4:34 remaining in the game, it wasn’t looking good for Tennessee. But the Titans didn’t give up.
