"Simmons was seen on the TV broadcast going over to the offense and voicing his frustration after one of their drives resulted in a punt. He said he wanted to challenge the offense to play more complimentary football. "I'm tired of sugarcoating it," Simmons said after the game. "We need to be better, especially at home. Can't have that many f---ing false starts. There's no way we should have that many false starts at home. I don't care. I'm tired of saving feelings. I'm tired of losing.""
"The Titans had five false starts in Sunday's game, three of which were by right tackle JC Latham who said it was partly due to a cadence issue. Quarterback Cam Ward acknowledged the issue but said after the game that it was just on one particular play. Simmons revealed the team had four false starts in Friday's practice. Tennessee was penalized nine times resulting in a loss of 62 yards."
The Tennessee Titans' record fell to 1-9 after a 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans.
