It was a close game in London on Sunday, but the Tennessee Titans fell to the Baltimore Ravens to move to 2-4, which is the bottom of the AFC South.
After the 24-16 loss, Titans star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons seemingly called out his teammates while talking to reporters, saying the team needs to figure out who wants to be on the field.
"We need to figure out the guys who are going to fight," Simmons said. "We need to figure out the guys who want to be out there, not the guys that don’t want to be out there. That’s what it needs to be. We need to reevaluate our team and figure that out. That’s the message: Let’s figure out who wants to play football for the Titans."

It was a frustrating game all around for the Titans, especially on the offensive side of the ball as quarterback Ryan Tannehill couldn’t get much going before leaving the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury.
Simmons was even seen letting out his frustrations on the Ravens during the contest. After Ravens rookie Zay Flowers hauled in a pass, Simmons was seen diving at his legs as he was being tackled by two of his teammates.

Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. took exception to Simmons doing so and appeared to knee him. Simmons ended up reacting more strongly to Beckham’s displeasure, and he was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
