I'm going to try to make you feel a little bit better about that.
As it turned out, we still may have wound up the same had Minshew not fumbled the ball away ......
When Minshew fumbled, it was 3rd-and-goal from the 4 yardline. There is a pretty good chance that we would have only gotten a field goal out of it. The Titans were pinned deep in their own territory after the fumble. Our defense came through, and forced them to punt out of their own end-zone. Subsequently, we would up with great field position, and got those 3 points anyway.
In fact, in a weird way it may have worked out better for us. If Minshew had not fumbled and Gay had kicked the field goal at that time, the Titans would have very likely started their next possession with better field position than they had after the fumble ...... and if they had, they may have gotten a couple of 1st downs and added a field goal of their own just before halftime. And then the score would have been 20-13, instead of 17-13.
