Titans Coach Admits He Made a Mistake vs. Broncos

The Tennessee Titans' head coach Brian Callahan acknowledged Monday that he didn’t know the NFL catch rule and failed to throw his red challenge flag in Tennessee’s 20-12 loss at Denver involving Elic Ayomanor's acrobatic catch ruled out of bounds.
Following the play, staff discussions focused on Callahan's admission that he misunderstood the NFL rulebook, which states a catch if `a player touches the ground inbounds with both feet or any part of his body other than his hands`.
The play in question was ruled a 23-yard catch that Brian Callahan later said he should have challenged, while earlier Elic Ayomanor hauled in a 21-yard play from Cam Ward.
The missed challenge contributed to the Titans' 20-12 loss, and the team was held to 133 yards of offense with 131 penalty yards, increasing scrutiny on Brian Callahan Monday.
Facing fourth-and-8 with 1:05 remaining, Broncos coach Sean Payton weighed sending Jeremy Crawshaw or Wil Lutz for a 54-yard attempt; three incompletions and a strip sack later, Denver held on for the win.
