And they’re making the most of their time on the road and getting a little sun while they do it.

From the team hotel to practice, the trip has allowed the Titans to spend time together off the field as well. It is viewed as a positive in this crucial time of the season for the Titans, who are 8-5 and trying to make the playoffs.
”We have a very close football team and they know exactly where we’re at at this time. They know the situation we’re in, the position we’re in,” coach Mike Mularkey said.

It’s been a good experience.”
