The contest between the Titans and the Cleveland Rams didn't end well, with the Titans falling 42-28. While losing is never fun, the Titans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 151st, while the Rams are ranked ninth).
