Former Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley was not happy on Sunday.
Ridley’s Tennessee Titans suffered another loss, falling to 1-4 on the season. Ridley was a non-factor in the game, not collecting a single catch on 8 targets.
After the game, Ridley went on an NSFW rant about his lack of targets early in the game.

Ridley was asked about what went wrong between him and quarterback Will Levis in this game. The WR then asked the media members in attendance when most of his targets came, and one media member replied that most of his 8 targets came in the 4th quarter.
“Sh–, I need some (targets) in the beginning of the f— game too,” explained the frustrated WR. “Sh–‘s getting crazy for me.”
It’s understandable why Ridley would be frustrated after this game. The WR did drop a couple of passes, but most of the 8 targets were not balls that could be easily caught. Ridley did get a handoff and scampered for 9 yards, but that was his only involvement in the game.
The Titans, meanwhile, continue to struggle on offense. Levis threw for just 95 yards on the day with 1 TD and 1 INT. DeAndre Hopkins was the team’s leading receiver with 4 catches for 54 yards.
Ridley joined the Titans this offseason on a massive 4-year, $92-million deal. The WR had spent the previous 2 seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the 1st 5 seasons of his career with the Atlanta Falcons.
In college, Ridley was a 2-time national champion with the Crimson Tide.
