After losing 4 of their first 5 games the Titans (3-4) have won 2 straight and in their last game Chris Johnson blew up for 195 rushing yards and looked like the RB that was the best in the league a couple years back.
The Tennessee Titans come into this game at 1-4, but even that doesn’t tell how badly the team has played this year. All of the Titans four losses have come by at least 21 points.
The Vikings (3-1) are off to a surprising start and they have won 2 straight and are tied with the Bears atop the NFC North. The Titans (1-3) have really struggled on defense this season, as they only rank 27th in the league both defending the pass and defending the run.
The Titans (1-2) got their first win of the season last week and Jake Locker had the best game of his career with 378 passing yards with 2 TD. However, he is not getting much help from RB Chris Johnson and they will be facing a Houston defense that ranks in the top 5 on the league in both pass and run defense.
The Houston Texans are the big favorite to win the AFC South and with good reason, as they have a legit QB while the Titans have a QB battle with Tim Hasselbeck and Jake Locker, the Jaguars have a 2nd year signal caller who struggled last season in Blaine Gabbert, and the Colts will be starting rookie Andrew Luck.
Kansas lost in the Big 12 conference semifinals and that likely cost them a #1 seed in the Big Dance. Detroit will not be a pushover and the Titans have won 5 straight and even though they only finished 3rd in the Horizon Conference this season they did not have much trouble winning the conference tourney.
The Tennessee Titans, with an ever-so-slim Playoff possibility meet the struggling but already safe Houston Texans on Sunday to close out their Regular season.
Two teams on winning streaks meet in Tennessee on Sunday when the New Orleans Saints, winners of four straight games take on the Tennessee Titans who are on a modest two game winning streak.
The Bucs (4-6) have lost 4 straight and if they lose to the Titans (5-5) in this non-conference match up the post-season will likely be a pipe dream.
The AFC South is officially up for grabs this Sunday. Houston had a golden opportunity to distance itself from Tennessee last week with the Titans on the bye but couldn’t get the job done against a tough Baltimore team. The winner of this week’s Texans/Titans showdown will sit alone atop the division.
NFL news: Matt Hasselbeck to Titans
There are so many NFL transactions to report that we could fill this entire column just with player moves, so let’s start with the biggest deals of the day: the ones involving quarterbacks.
The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a deal with veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
The 35-year-old is on the downside of his career, which he had spent entirely with the Seattle Seahawks.
Last season, he threw for 3,001 yards, 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
The Titans, however, were still interested in Hasselbeck’s services because they wanted an experienced starter to run the offense while first-round pick Jake Locker learned the ropes as a backup. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
