Yep, that's the 4th turnover of the day and the Patriots recover the ball after a Blasingame fumble
Tennessee ball comes loose and it looks like the Pats get it back...
2-minute warning in the second half
Foreman gets it up the middle a few times to finally get two 1st downs taking them to the Pats 47

The Patriots are maximizing on the Titans' mistakes and their own defense's help. They get the turnover on downs and they get it right on down into the end zone for an even bigger lead over the Titans with 4:38 left in the half.
Folk PAT is GOOD!
PATRIOTS TOUCHDOWN!!
Harris runs it 14 yards to get the Patriots touchdown and he is EXCITED!
The Titans go for it on 4th down, but Tannehill's pass is incomplete to Westbrook-Ikhine - Patriots ball at the Titans 21
At 3rd and 14, Tannehill tries to make a big play but it's nearly picked, bringing them to 4th down at their own 21
Titans defense is working hard for this team and they hold the Pats to 4th down again but they're able to stay in FG range (which is a pretty big range for Nick Folk) and the Pats get the 3 points for a 29-13 lead.
Folk 52-yard attempt is GOOD!
Jones pass complete to Meyers to the Titans 34 to put them in FG range
Jones is SACKED by Naquon Jones and Robertson for a loss of 10, bringing the Pats to 3rd and 21 all of a sudden
Jenkins (Titans) injured on the play
Pats keep the ball alive (mostly because of Stevenson picking up yards on the ground) and the Pats are at the Titans 30 with a 1st down
That did NOT go as planned. They faked the handoff and Tannehill throws it to Hollister but it is PICKED OFF by Jackson in the end zone.
Hilliard comes in for Foreman...
Foreman pushes through but he doesn't get it - Titans get held to 4th and goal - will they go for it?? I think they have to!
Tannehill throws it into the end zone but Van Noy blocks it and knocks it away - 3rd and goal
Foreman gets a few yards - not enough. 2nd and goal

Byard SACKS Jones and the Titans defense is able to hold the Pats to 4th down yet again!
Foreman finds the hole and is on a roll but OH NOOOOO he FUMBLES the ball as Jackson pops it right out of his arms and Foreman is unable to recover it! The PATRIOTS get the ball back at their own 37!
Livin' off field goals still in the second half. The Patriots are held off by the Titans again with a near pick and some incomplete passes. They'll need to step it up if they want to win the game.
Folk 28-yard FG is GOOD!
Jones scrambles away at 3rd and 10 and he slides but it is short of the 1st - Pats are at 4th and 3 at the Titans 10

Halftime Summary
Pats relying on field goals and Titans are fighting hard to stay in the game. If not for a Titans fumble in the second quarter, we could be looking at a tie game. Then again, if not for that incomplete pass to a wide open Henry by Mac Jones, we could be looking at an even bigger Patriots lead.
Pats and Titans were both able to get a TD in the first quarter but the missed PAT by Bullock kept the Titans behind. Patriots were living off field goals after that with 3 in a row by Folk. Titans get a TD on a huge 68-yard run by Hilliard to make it a 16-13 game at the half.
And that'll do it for the first half! It's a close game in chilly Foxborough with the Titans trailing by 3 at the half.
Folk 53-yard attempt is NO GOOD!
Field goal unit coming on the field
Bourne 7-yard gain gets the Pats to field goal range at the Titans 35
Titans take their second timeout
Pats take third timeout
Pats take second timeout
Tannehill's pass attempt is swatted down by Van Noy so they said "let's just run it" and Hilliard said, "no problem". He finds the hole and he just keeps going 68 yards to get the TD before the half! This time Bullock's got the extra point to make it a 3-point game before halftime. 37 seconds left in the half.
And Bullock's extra point is GOOD!
TITANS TOUCHDOWN!!!
Hilliard is going going GONE on a 68-yard breakthrough run!!!!
At 2nd and 3, Tannehill throws a bullet but Van Noy nearly picks it as he swats it down real quick
Titans take their first timeout
Pats get the ball back after a Titans fumble and they're able to get close, but not close enough for the TD. Trusty ol' Nick Folk gets them the FG to make it a 10-point lead over the Titans.
Folk 44-yard field goal is GOOD! Good thing the Pats have this guy. They're having to rely on him a lot today.
Jones throws it to a wide open Henry that would've been a TD but it's incomplete on an overthrown pass
Face Mask on Titans - 15 yards....oof. Not going well for the Titans right now.
Bolden gets a gain of 19 and they are in Titans territory
UH OH! Ball is LOOSE and it is RECOVERED by the PATRIOTS! Godchaux knocks it loose from Hilliard and Duggar gets it! Patriots ball at the NE 32!
That brings us to the 2-minute warning in the first half
Tannehill gets a big play with a 24-yard pass to Westbrook-Ikhine

Another injured Titan on the play (Rice) - they are dropping like flies with the most injured players in the league right now
Jones with plenty of times and he throws a DEEP pass to Meyers and it is CAUGHT for 38 yards!! What a throw and what a catch by Meyers!
Holding call on the Pats
Boom. Jones pass to Harris for a gain of 12 and a 1st down. Lookin' to head down the field quick again.

Rogers takes it to the Titans 28 for a 30-yard run on the punt return

Folk 22-yard field goal is GOOD!
Pats bolted it down the field only to get to 4th and goal. Ouch.
Another quick 13-yard pickup with a pass to Smith
This time it's a 16-yard pass to Smith for another big gain! Pats gettin' right on down the field. They're at the Titans 21 already
Another Jones-Meyers connection for 20 more yards, just barrelling down the field
Whew, big 22-yard pass from Jones to Meyers for a big Pats 1st down on their first possession of this drive
Titans able to get the TD but unfortunately they inadvertently iced their own kicker by challenging the play which was originally called short of the TD. A bad call by the refs that cost the Titans the extra point.
Bollocks! Bullock extra point is NO GOOD! Bounces right off the pole. Yikes! That challenge must have thrown him off!
TITANS TOUCHDOWN!
After further review, the refs REVERSE the call and rule Westbrook-Ikhine's play a touchdown and the Titans are on the board!
Tannehill pass to Westbrook-Ikhine complete and refs are calling it short of the TD but Vrabel is challenging that call. It looks like he is across before he's down and is slipping into the end zone. We'll see if the refs reverse the call on the field.
Pats take their first timeout of the half
Hilliard gets a gain of 1 but it's not enough - 3rd and goal Titans
Foreman stopped just short of the goal line and that brings us to the end of the 1st!
Hollister is back i and picks up another gain of 8 yards to bring the Titans to 1st and goal!

Tannehill takes it up the middle and the Titans get the 1st down!
At 3rd and 3, Rogers gets the catch but he's just short of the 1st down - Titans at 4th and 1 and looks like they'll go for it!

Pats at 1st and goal
At 3rd and 10, Bouldin gets the catch and runs it all the way for the 1st down, careful to keep those feet in

The Titans inexplicable loss to the Texans
The Titans (8-3) were on fire on a six-game winning streak until last week when they lost 22-13 to the Houston Texans. Five turnovers and a career-high four interceptions thrown by Ryan Tannehill contributed in breaking the Titans streak and gave Houston their first win since their season opener.
The Titans pass rush has been consistent so far this season, but they couldn't stop Texans QB Tyrod Taylor, who accounted for two of Houston's TDs. The Titans recorded just one hit on Taylor.
Today, the Titans will look to maintain their spot atop the AFC in a road game against the Patriots, who are currently on a five-game winning streak.
