Jake Locker: 'Tennessee Titans can build on performance against Washington Redskins'

Jake Locker has said that the Tennessee Titans can build momentum from their performance against the Washington Redskins, despite losing.

The AFC South side were narrowly beaten 22-21 in their opening game of the pre-season.

The quarterback told the team's website: "We moved the ball well. That was our goal, just to come out and build momentum, have some drives and put 14 points on the board.

"I thought our run game looked really good. We were able to convert in clutch situations, on third downs and in our passing game. It was really good for our first time out, I felt, and things that we can build on."

The Titans will face the Cincinnati Bengals in their next game.
