Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh faces scrutiny following a 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on September 20, 2026. The Titans were leading with less than two minutes remaining when they chose to kick off into the end zone, allowing the Eagles to start at their own 35-yard line. This decision, highlighted by analyst Ryan Paganetti, has raised concerns due to its divergence from standard kick strategies. The Eagles capitalized on this opportunity, scoring a game-winning touchdown with just nine seconds left after traveling 65 yards in under two minutes. Saleh's kickoff tactics have now come under question, given the Titans' unusual approach compared to the league's average.

- •Titans have kicked into the end zone 50% of the time this season.
- •Philadelphia scored the winning touchdown with nine seconds left.
