If you will recall, they didnt win a game after the day they stopmed all over our precious towel until they signed one and donated it to a charity raffle to appease the spirit of the Great Myron Cope.
"Titans running back LenDale White fumbled in the red zone and cost his team a field goal opportunity that ultimately proved to be the difference in the game. White had stomped and spit on a Terrible Towel a few weeks earlier, at the end of the Titans' regular-season win against the Steelers.[2] The Tennessee Titans went on an 8 game losing streak immediately following the incident, including losing to the Steelers in the NFL Kickoff game after the Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII, and capped off with a 59-0 trounching by the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Week 6. In November 2009, the offending players sent an autographed towel to the Allegheny Valley School, a special needs school supported by Towel creator and long-time Steelers broadcaster Myron Cope, with a written request to "lift the curse". [3] The Titans then won their next five straight games."
