The Tennessee Titans unveiled their 2019 training schedule this week, which includes two joint practices with the New England Patriots.
Titans' representatives told reporters, "We are exited to welcome the Patriots to Music City. The training team feels it is just as important to emotionally prepare for crushing losses as it is to actually play the game. These two practice beatings will not only lower expectations for the city of Nashville, but also lessen the inevitable disappointment and embarrassment for both players and fans throughout the 2019 season."
Both practice defeats will be held at Saint Thomas Sports Park. They are free and open to the public.
