NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Titans coach Jeff Fisher’s attempt at levity and a bit of humor by donning Peyton Manning’s No. 18 jersey at a charity fundraiser isn’t being received well by fans upset over Tennessee’s 0-6 start.
The coach isn’t backing down.
Fisher said Wednesday he wanted to bring some levity to his introduction of former Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy at a fundraiser for a Christian teen center. Fisher says he thinks it went over well and can’t help if anyone was offended.
And he’d do it again.
The Titans are coming off a 59-0 rout by New England that matched the biggest NFL loss since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
Manning says it would be ridiculous for Fisher to catch any heat for trying to have fun with a speech.
