There is little room for error after that defeat if Tennessee wants to keep its AFC South title and playoff hopes alive.<\/p>\n
With that, the Titans will need a big day out of running back Chris Johnson, who has only one 100-yard game this season.\u00a0 However, the always potentially explosive back, needs just two rushing touchdowns to become the third back in franchise history to reach 50, and he could pull it off Sunday versus a Denver defense that has had its share of struggles this season.
\n[soliloquy id=”82219″]
\nDenver’s pass defense is ranked 29th with an average of 284 yards allowed, but part of that is due to the opposition trying to keep pace with an offense that is putting up a staggering 38.7 points per game.<\/p>\n
Peyton Manning, gouged the Chiefs for 403 yards and five touchdown passes in last week’s come-from-behind victory at Arrowhead Stadium, upping his season totals to 41 touchdown passes to only nine interceptions. \u00a0He enters Sunday’s contest with 4,125 yards, the most by any quarteback over the first 12 games of a season.<\/p>\n
But the Broncos (10-2) aren’t just deadly in the air, they can hurt you on the ground too.<\/p>\n
Running back Knowshon Moreno has been a dual threat out of the backfield all season long, and with the emergence of rookie Montee Ball, who has provided another boost to the offense by rushing for 117 yards last week, the Broncos are a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n
Matt’s Free Prediction<\/h3>\n
The only hope the Titans have here is to keep the ball out of the hands of Manning.<\/p>\n
Cold conditions are forecasted and that could help their chances.<\/p>\n
Still, with a surging rushing attack, and a 6-0 record at home, \u00a0I expect the Broncos to welcome back Fox with a big win here, as they wrap up a postseason slot with their second straight win in as many outings.<\/p>\n
