Titans are their own worst enemy as they fail again to string together winsNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans keep proving that for every step forward, they always find ways to take two back. The Titans (3-9) clinched a third straight losing record to mark first-year coach Brian Callahan’s debut season in an ugly 42-19 loss to Washington. Yet another slow start, more turnovers, sacks, penalties ruined their chance at stringing together consecutive wins for the first time in more than two years. Callahan said Monday they’re trying to build consistency. “In the NFL, a lot of it is about not losing the game first, and we do right now with the amount of penalties and turnovers we’ve had,” Callahan said. “We put ourselves in position to lose games and not win them. And so, yes, there is a there is an element of learning how to win.” Tennessee had 11 of 12 penalties before halftime, trailing 28-7. The Titans also were the previous NFL team to be flagged for at least 11 penalties and trail by 20 or more points at halftime in Week 17 of 2005 against the Jaguars. Only Baltimore has been penalized more than Tennessee this season. Two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons said after the loss that the Titans need to learn how to deal with winning better coming off a 32-27 win at Houston. Simmons said they were “hungover from our own success.” RELATED COVERAGE Justin Tucker’s erratic season isn’t getting any better, and it’s hurting Baltimore’s outlook Rams claim CB Emmanuel Forbes off waivers from Washington Buccaneers are back to .500 and in position to control their playoff hopes down the stretch Callahan said Monday he didn’t see any hangover issues. “You have a performance like that and you’re sort of grasping for an explanation on why and there really wasn’t one other than we made too many errors early in the game and put ourselves in a hole,” Callahan said. What’s working Quarterback Will Levis’ development over the four games since his return from a sprained, right throwing shoulder at least gives the Titans promise for the future. The second-year quarterback made some nice throws and limited yards lost on two sacks Sunday. He threw two TD passes for 212 yards. Since his return, he is completing 61.7% of his passes for 960 yards with seven touchdown passes and only two interceptions with a 101.3 passer rating in that span.

What needs help Now the defense is struggling after going into Washington second in the NFL in yards allowed, ninth against the run and first defending the pass. They gave up a season-high 267 yards rushing after giving up just 40 a week ago. The Titans also gave up 28 points within the first 20 minutes, becoming only the third team to do that in the past five seasons . The Titans also did that in Week 8 earlier this season after being routed by the Lions in Detroit. Washington did it against Dallas in Week 16 of 2021. Stock up WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Originally undrafted out of Indiana, Westbrook-Ikhine is tied for fourth in the NFL with eight TD catches entering Monday. That’s despite starting only five games this season and not having a pass thrown to him the first month of the season. He has earned a multi-year deal with his performance. He had three receptions for 61 yards against Washington and was targeted a season-high eight times. Stock down Rookie Jha’Quan Jackson. A sixth-round pick out of Tulane and nephew of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Ed Reed has fumbled five times as the punt returner recovering only two of those. That got him benched against Washington. His fumbles have come in the past six games, including one in each of the past two. His fumble against Washington led to an early touchdown. Injuries LT JC Latham hurt a quadriceps muscle but finished the game. Callahan said they will see how CB Roger McCreary (shoulder) and LB Kenneth Murray Jr. (strained hamstring) recover during the week. Key number 36 — The number of games since the Titans have had consecutive victories. Next steps The Titans at least are home with their best focus trying to improve their standing inside the AFC South with four divisional games down the stretch. They have two games remaining against Jacksonville (2-10) starting Sunday with Trevor Lawrence likely out. But their biggest question now is how high does this franchise draft in April. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

The count is well and truly underway with TDs being elected across the country . Here are six things we learned on the first day of counting for Election 2024 . 1. Green wipeout The Green Party has had a catastrophic day at the polls and are potentially facing a total wipeout, as some of its most high-profile TDs face the fights of their political careers. Roderic O’Gorman, the Green leader, is currently in fifth place in the five-seat Dublin West, with transfers from other left-wing candidates likely to decide his fate. Catherine Martin in Dublin Rathdown will be fighting for the final seat in her constituency after she topped the poll in 2020. LIVE: GE24 updates Scroll for live results in your area Cork East Cork North Central Cork North West Cork South Central Cork South West Kerry Clare Limerick City Limerick County Tipperary North Tipperary South Waterford Dublin Bay North Dublin Bay South Dublin Central Dublin Fingal East Dublin Fingal West Dublin Mid West Dublin North West Dublin Rathdown Dublin South Central Dublin South West Dublin West Dun Laoghaire Carlow/Kilkenny Kildare North Kildare South Laois Longford/Westmeath Louth Meath East Meath West Offaly Wexford Wicklow Wicklow/Wexford Cavan/Monaghan Donegal Galway East Galway West Mayo Roscommon/Galway Sligo/Leitrim Other key Greens, like Joe O’Brien in Dublin Fingal West, have already been eliminated and more will follow in the hours ahead. It isn’t the first time the party has been wiped out, but it will be a very difficult pill to swallow for party activists across the country. 2. Labour and Social Democrat surge Both the Labour Party and Social Democrats are on track to enter the double digits of Dáil seats after performing well across the country. Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a baby girl on polling day , will likely retain her seat in Cork South-West and the grouping is now hopeful of seeing between 10 and 13 TDs elected to Leinster House. Labour's Ivana Bacik is in a similar position. With a likely outcome of at least 10 TDs, it sets her party up to enter serious coalition talks after all the votes are counted. 3. The Monk Dublin Central provided the story that most people will be talking about on Sunday — and possibly far beyond. Veteran criminal Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch is in a position to challenge for a seat in the constituency, having announced his candidacy just five weeks ago. Mr Hutch arrived at Dublin Airport earlier this month after being arrested in Spain last month as part of an international investigation into money laundering. He has reportedly been released on bail of €100,000. But that did not stop 3,098 voters from giving him a first preference, landing him fourth in the running. He is around 600 votes ahead of Labour's Marie Sherlock and is expected to grow that lead when anti-migrant campaigner Malachy Steenson is eliminated. Whether Ms Sherlock is able to attract a sizeable number of transfers from Fianna Fáil's Mary Fitzpatrick and the Greens' Neasa Hourigan will determine the destination of the final seat in the centre of the capital. 4. Sinn Féin say political landscape altered Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said it is clear now that there is a strong appetite for change, and she will be speaking to others on the left after the votes are counted. Arriving at the RDS count centre added that she is going to “knuckle down now” and do everything she can to "to bring about change”. "Not so long ago, the old traditional establishment parties monopolised not just government but also opposition, that's changed now, and I think this election is confirmation of that," said Ms McDonald who topped the poll in Dublin Central. 5. Ministers in danger Elections can be cruel and this time around a number of high-profile candidates are in the danger zone. This includes Health Minister Stephen Donnelly who polled around 6% of first preference votes. In what has been a bad day for the Greens, party leader Roderic O'Gorman will be fighting it out to retain his seat in Dublin West. In Galway East, junior minister Anne Rabbitte has not polled as well as expected on 7.5% and could be taken out by her own party colleague councillor Albert Dolan. 6. Wedded to politics Every election, there are always stories of lost items making their way into ballot boxes, and general election 2024 is no different. In Donegal, one box from Scoil Eoghain in Moville had an errant wedding ring land into it, as a voter came to cast his vote. Local polling station staff ensured to warn the incoming count staff of the lost ring, with it tumbling out once counting kicked off early this morning. Local 100% Redress councillor, Ali Farren, managed to return the ring to its rightful owner, with a happy reunion after a few hours stuck under stacks of ballots.
