In the first half of the Chargers-Titans game, the color commentary repeatedly observed that the Titans were “beating themselves.” Indeed, Tennessee found itself down 21-10 at halftime, thanks in part to a multitude of silly penalties.

↵I have to confess that this screen grab is misleading -- Titans defensive end Dave Ball merely jumped three yards off-sides completely unprovoked, and we see him here trying to scurry back as though nobody had noticed.
