The Titans have a golden opportunity to all but lock up the AFC South if they can win at Indianapolis Sunday. The Titans are 5-2 and already have a win against the Colts Sept. 26. That game was played when Colts QB Carson Wentz was hampered by two ankle sprains, and the Titans were able to take advantage and cruise to an early season win. In the rematch, the Titans can really gain the upper hand with a win or breathe life back into the Colts’ season with a loss.

2. Yes, Henry is MVP-worthy, but the NFL is a quarterback league - Friday, October 29, 2021

With Derrick Henry’s work Monday Night Football came the type of attention that rarely finds its way to the Tennessee Titans.

And while Henry didn’t follow it up with spectacular numbers against Kansas City (86 yards on 29 carries), there is still the question of whether a running back – and Henry, in particular – can be a legitimate Most Valuable Player candidate.

3. Titans look like AFC contender off wins over Bills, Chiefs - Friday, October 22, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are on quite a roll winning, three straight and five of their last six. Beating Buffalo and thumping the two-time defending AFC champ Kansas City could be a big ego boost.

4. Titans start fast, simply dominate Mahomes, Chiefs 27-3 - Friday, October 22, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans wanted to start games faster and score more points early.

They did just that against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Titans scored on their first five possessions and led 27-0 at halftime on their way to routing the Chiefs on Sunday.

5. Knack for finishing games not showing up early for Titans - Friday, October 22, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have a great knack for finishing games. Moving the ball after the opening kickoff is their big problem.

The Titans have scored only 20 points in the first quarter all season and have been shut out in two games. Worse, they've scored only once on an opening drive, settling for a field goal against the Jets, with a trio of three-and-outs.

6. Chiefs at Titans: What to watch - Friday, October 22, 2021

The Titans are in the midst of a tough stretch of games, first with the Buffalo win and then the Kansas City Chiefs on a short week. The Chiefs, despite a 3-3 record, are a tough out and a top contender.

7. Titans banged up, resilient, ready to build off 34-31 win - Friday, October 15, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans just passed their biggest test this season even with an injury report that grows with each passing game.

Call it poise, resiliency or the old cliche of next man up, it certainly helps having the NFL's best rusher in Derrick Henry and a defense with a growing knack for goal-line stands.

8. Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan carted off field with injury - Friday, October 15, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan was carted off the field strapped to a backboard after taking a hit to his head and neck area Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.

Lewan was being evaluated for a concussion and had movement in all of his extremities, according to the Titans.

9. Titans stop Allen on 4th down, hang on to beat Bills 34-31 - Friday, October 15, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Derrick Henry showed once again how important he is to the Tennessee Titans.

This time, he had help from the Tennessee defense.

Henry scored his third touchdown with 3:05 left, and the Titans stopped Josh Allen on a fourth-down quarterback sneak in the final seconds to beat Buffalo 34-31 on Monday night, snapping the Bills' four-game winning streak.

10. Henry, Titans keep batting away questions over his workload - Friday, October 15, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has a simple test for how sore he is after plowing through and over NFL defenders.

11. Bills vs. Titans: What to watch - Friday, October 15, 2021

The stakes get a little higher when the Titans host the Buffalo Bills this week on Monday Night Football. The Bills probably haven’t forgotten the 42-16 smackdown the Titans put on them last year in a rare Tuesday night game. The game had been rescheduled due to the Titans’ COVID-19 outbreak.

12. Manning up is a sure way to sway this football fan - Friday, October 15, 2021

I’m trying to become a Titans fan, as befits a bona fide Nashvillian. But it’s going ... slowly. Here’s the problem:

Geographic proximity is not necessarily a factor in my sports loyalties. I grew up in an area with no professional team nearby until 1967, when the New Orleans Saints debuted 110 miles away.

13. Henry again carrying battered Titans into crucial stretch - Friday, October 8, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Derrick Henry is carrying the Tennessee Titans yet again.

The 2020 AP Offensive Player of the Year is leading the NFL with 640 yards rushing. He's atop the league with 142 carries and seven touchdowns, and he scored three more in a 37-19 win in Jacksonville in an almost pedestrian performance for Henry with 29 carries for 130 yards.

14. Henry scores 3 TDs; Titans send Jags to 20th straight loss - Friday, October 8, 2021

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Derrick Henry enjoyed another happy homecoming while continuing to torment his hometown team.

Henry ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns about 25 miles from where he grew up, Kevin Byard returned a fumble for a score and the Tennessee Titans beat Jacksonville 37-19 Sunday, sending the Jaguars to their 20th consecutive loss.

15. Titans LB Dupree: Mind, pride got ahead of knee - Friday, October 8, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Outside linebacker Bud Dupree says his mind, and pride, got ahead of his body in his recovery from a torn right ACL.

Blame the eagerness of wanting to make a good impression with his new team, the Tennessee Titans, and introduce himself the right way to a new city and fans.

16. Titans are consistently inconsistent - Friday, October 8, 2021

After four games there is much to dissect about the Tennessee Titans. About the only certainty with this team is that it is completely inconsistent.

How else do you explain an upset win in Seattle and a win against the Colts followed by losing to the hapless New York Jets in overtime.

17. Vrabel: Nobody did well enough in loss to Jets - Friday, October 1, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are banged up, can't protect their quarterback and just lost to a previously winless team.

Yep, there's plenty of blame to go around.

"Nobody did well enough — head coach, assistant coaches, quarterback," coach Mike Vrabel said Monday. "We've been through this before. When you lose, we all have to do more, we all have to be better. I'm confident that we will. So we'll see who we have this week, we'll see who's available and get them ready."

18. Tannehill, Titans beat up by sack-happy Jets in OT loss - Friday, October 1, 2021

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — It seemed just about every time Ryan Tannehill dropped back to throw, there was another New York Jets defender in his face.

The Tennessee Titans quarterback certainly took his lumps, getting sacked seven times in a 27-24 overtime loss Sunday.

19. Titans sign another punter with 3-time Pro Bowler Kern hurt - Friday, October 1, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans already have a second replacement kicker on the roster with the first on injured reserve, and now they have a second punter.

Three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern was limited Wednesday with an injured right groin muscle that kept him from practicing Thursday. So the Titans signed punter Johnny Townsend to the roster Thursday.

20. Titans at Jets: What to watch - Friday, October 1, 2021

The Titans head to New York with a 2-1 mark to face the lowly New York Jets, who are still looking for their first win of the season. Here are the keys to a Titans victory Sunday in the Big Apple.

First down

Don’t give the Jets life. The Titans have had one comeback win and one in which they let the Colts hang around for far longer than they should have, thanks to three turnovers.

21. Fresh off back-to-back wins, Titans have some issues to fix - Friday, September 24, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are 2-1 despite not making anything easy on themselves.

At all.

A week after going to overtime for a big win at Seattle, the Titans turned the ball over three times and yet found a way to win for the first time in that situation since October 2007. They can thank their defense for allowing only one touchdown off those mistakes in a 25-16 win over the Colts.

22. Tannehill throws 3 TDs as Titans hold off Colts 25-16 - Friday, September 24, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans know it's almost impossible to win a game turning the ball over three times.

They found a way to overcome their mistakes for a big win against a team they rarely beat, especially in Nashville.

23. Titans' Lewan set to return agianst Colts - Friday, September 24, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee left tackle Taylor Lewan practiced fully all week and is set to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts after being scratched for the Titans' win in Seattle.

Outside linebacker Bud Dupree is questionable after not practicing Friday. Starting tight end Anthony Firkser (knee), rookie cornerback Caleb Farley (shoulder) and outside linebacker Derick Roberson (knee) all are out against the Colts (0-2).

24. Ball security early, rare issue for Titans QB Ryan Tannehill - Friday, September 24, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans led the NFL in 2020 with a plus-11 turnover margin thanks in part to how well they took care of the ball.

Two games into this season, that's proving more of a challenge.

25. Titans vs. Colts: What to watch - Friday, September 24, 2021

It’s Colts week in Tennessee, and here’s what the Titans must do to take control of the AFC South.

First down

Play defense like the second half vs. Seattle. Other than one 68-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Freddie Swaim, the Titan defense shut out the Seahawks during the final 30 minutes and in overtime.

26. Offensive line at its best with backs against the wall - Friday, September 24, 2021

Adversity seems to bring out the best in the Tennessee Titans.

How else does one explain Derrick Henry racking up 147 yards in the second half of Sunday’s overtime win to rally the Titans from 15 down at the half while playing without the starting left side of the offensive line.

27. Titans can’t slip Sunday vs. Colts with control of AFC South at stake - Friday, September 24, 2021

Two weeks in, the Tennessee Titans’ best friend thus far this season might be the fact that they play in the AFC South.

Yes, the Titans were able to score a big overtime gut check win Sunday in Seattle, redeeming themselves for a Week One embarrassment at home to Arizona.

28. Titans believe they found themselves on road in OT comeback - Friday, September 17, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have done enough talking. In rallying for an overtime victory on the road, they may have found the formula to help defend their AFC South title.

Derrick Henry and the Titans piled up 532 yards in rallying from a 15-point deficit at halftime and 14 points in the final 13:06 of regulation. Henry scored two of his three touchdowns to force overtime, and a maligned defense came through for a 33-30 overtime win in Seattle.

29. King Henry leads Titans' late rally to stun Seahawks 33-30 - Friday, September 17, 2021

SEATTLE (AP) — Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans found a way to silence Seattle's notorious noise that hadn't been heard for nearly two years.

The Titans leaned on their All-Pro star and staged the kind comeback they haven't pulled off in a regular-season game in more than a decade.

30. Titans' Lewan: Bad day due to worrying more about messing up - Friday, September 17, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan says he didn't deal well with his first game back after the first injury of his career, getting so amped up the three-time Pro Bowler was drained by kickoff.

31. Titans eager to respond after offense 'got hit in the mouth' - Friday, September 17, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are trying to get back to what they do on offense after a stumbling performance in their season opener, and Ryan Tannehill says that means playing up to their own standards.

32. No time for excuses or pouting for Titans after ugly loss - Friday, September 10, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee is about to find out if the Titans are who they thought they were coming into this season.

The Titans came into this season with high expectations as the defending AFC South champs. That swagger deflated quickly as the Arizona Cardinals scored the first 17 points in romping all over them in a 38-13 flop Sunday that had fans booing before halftime and leaving before the fourth quarter.

33. Titans wind up outcoached, outplayed in opening 38-13 loss - Friday, September 10, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Outcoached. Outplayed. Beaten soundly. The Tennessee Titans just got a big ego check after being routed in their season opener.

Ryan Tannehill was sacked six times, fumbled twice and intercepted once as the defending AFC South champs found themselves smothered 38-13 by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

34. Four Downs: Titans vs. Cardinals - Friday, September 10, 2021

The Titans open the 2021 season at home Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals (noon, CBS). Here’s what to watch:

First down

Containing Kyler Murray. The Titans’ pass rush, which they hope has improved with the additions of Bud Dupree, Denico Autry and Rashad Weaver, doesn’t need to get Murray on the ground so much as they need to simply make him uncomfortable and keep him from breaking free for runs or off-schedule passes.

35. NFL roster spots are for the great or versatile - Friday, September 10, 2021

I first heard the term, “the more you can do,” from the late Floyd Reese, former Titans general manager, when I first started covering the Titans and the NFL.

Now a quarter century later, you’ll still hear that phrase spring forth from the Titans administration, including current general manager Jon Robinson and head coach Mike Vrabel. It came into play again last week when roster cuts were finalized.

37. Uncertainty abounds in AFC South as Titans attempt to repeat - Friday, August 27, 2021

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — There's more uncertainty than usual surrounding the AFC South, and it extends beyond Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson.

The NFL's lone division with two playoff teams in each of the last four years is dealing with significant changes heading into the 2021 season. Two new head coaches, three new offensive coordinators, three new quarterbacks and several prominent cleats to fill could put the South's postseason streak in jeopardy.

38. Titans will have to wait to hone offensive timing, chemistry - Friday, August 27, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The closest Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown and Julio Jones got to playing this preseason came when they put on their uniforms before kickoff. Ryan Tannehill watched the preseason finale in quarantine and had plenty of company.

39. Titans carry on with head coach in quarantine with COVID-19 - Friday, August 20, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Titans coach Mike Vrabel anticipated further testing would confirm he has COVID-19.

He was right.

The Tennessee Titans practiced without their head coach Monday with Vrabel quarantined at home after testing positive Sunday morning.

40. Four Downs: Titans vs. Bucs - Friday, August 20, 2021

The Titans travel to Tampa, where they play the Buccaneers Saturday following joint practices Wednesday and Thursday. Here are some things to look for in preseason game No. 2.

First down

Some of the starters will see action: No one would blame the Titans for holding out Derrick Henry or Julio Jones for the entire preseason, but a few more starters should trickle into the lineup this week after almost all of them sat out the preseason opener.

41. How many coaches does it take to change a defense? - Friday, July 30, 2021

The optimism that surrounds the Tennessee Titans as training camp 2021 opens is no doubt centered on the addition of wide receiver Julio Jones to what was one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses in 2020.

42. Work comes first to make sure Jones boosts Titans' offense - Friday, June 18, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The phrase "Pick your poison" has been used a lot to describe the Tennessee offense since the Titans traded for Julio Jones.

That's the effect of adding a seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver to a unit already featuring a Pro Bowl receiver in A.J. Brown and the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year in Derrick Henry, the back-to-back rushing champ.

43. Jones says 'stay tuned' as he proves he's still fast, strong - Friday, June 11, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Julio Jones turned 32 in February, missed seven games with a nagging hamstring issue in his 10th year in the NFL and now finds himself with a new team in the Tennessee Titans.

The seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver had a message Thursday for anyone doubting him.

44. Titans' Henry wins ASWA pro athlete of year honor again - Friday, June 4, 2021

45. Titans agree to deal with Falcons for Julio Jones - Friday, June 4, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans had been talking to the Atlanta Falcons about seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones for nearly three weeks.

In the end, they pried Jones loose with a couple of draft picks, the highest being a second-rounder.

46. Downing trying to tune up Titans' offense, not replace Smith - Friday, June 4, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Todd Downing has no plans to fill Arthur Smith's shoes as Tennessee's new offensive coordinator. His real challenge is keeping the Titans' offense clicking as well as possible.

47. Few veterans on hand in latest stage of Titans' offseason - Friday, May 28, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — No Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry or A.J. Brown on offense nor safety Kevin Byard from the defense.

48. Titans' new receiver eager to work in high-powered offense - Friday, March 26, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Josh Reynolds looked at his offers and saw plenty of opportunity in Tennessee with the Titans.

A high-powered offense anchored by the NFL's back-to-back rushing leader Derrick Henry with a veteran quarterback in Ryan Tannehill who throws the ball down the field regularly. Reynolds couldn't pass up the chance to show exactly what he can do in this league.

49. Ready or not, sports is back in a big way - Friday, February 19, 2021

In less than three weeks, the Southeastern Conference men’s basketball tournament will be in full swing at Bridgestone Arena. Probably. Maybe.

The tournament format is set, television times have been announced and the Metro Public Health Department has been busy reviewing plans submitted by the SEC to stage its showcase event March 10-14.

51. Vrabel stays in-house for Titans' new coordinators - Friday, January 29, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel has promoted from within, moving Todd Downing to offensive coordinator on Friday.

And Vrabel also named Shane Bowen the defensive coordinator after he handled the job for the Titans without the title throughout the 2020 season.

52. Smith earned his ascension to NFL head coach - Friday, January 22, 2021

Arthur Smith took the road less traveled in becoming an NFL head coach when he could have been on Easy Street.

Smith was named head coach of the Atlanta Falcons this past week, just days after wrapping up his second season as the Titans offensive coordinator and after a decade spent in the organization working a variety of mostly low-level roles under four different head coaches.

53. Falcons pick Titans offensive coordinator Smith as new coach - Friday, January 15, 2021

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets completed their in-person second interview with Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith on Thursday as their search for a head coach continues.

55. Another Ravens loss will ‘sting’ for long time - Friday, January 15, 2021

For those who have followed the Titans in their 20-plus years in Nashville now, you know what a thorn the Baltimore Ravens have been for this franchise.

Not that the Titans haven’t done their share of agitating and frustrating the Ravens – how quickly we forget last season’s monumental upset in Baltimore – but there is something about this rivalry that is confounding and hateful, and yet Titans fans wind up tipping their hats with the utmost respect when it’s over and things didn’t go their way.

56. Jets add Titans OC Arthur Smith to list of HC candidates - Friday, January 8, 2021

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets interviewed Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith on Monday for their head coaching vacancy.

Smith is the eighth known candidate to meet remotely with the Jets, who are also expected to interview New Orleans defensive backs coach Aaron Glenn later Monday.

57. Who were they? Records reveal Trump fans who stormed Capitol - Friday, January 8, 2021

WASHINGTON (AP) — They came from across America, summoned by President Donald Trump to march on Washington in support of his false claim that the November election was stolen and to stop the congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden as the victor.

58. Derrick Henry unable to replicate playoff run for Titans - Friday, January 8, 2021

NASHVILLE (AP) — Derrick Henry ran the Tennessee Titans all the way to the AFC championship game a year ago.

On Sunday, the NFL's latest 2,000-yard running back couldn't carry the Titans past their playoff opener even with a home-field advantage.

59. Building early lead crucial for first round win - Friday, January 8, 2021

Can the Titans make it three consecutive wins against the Ravens in less than a full year? The Ravens opened as a field goal favorite, but they also were favored in their last two losses to Tennessee.

60. Titans seem to have Ravens’ number - Friday, January 8, 2021

The Ringo Starr classic “It Don’t Come Easy” might be a fitting theme song to the Tennessee Titans’ 2020 season.

How else can you explain a team that has a 2,000-yard rusher in Derrick Henry, a 1,000-yard receiver in A.J. Brown and a quarterback in Ryan Tannehill with more than 3,800 yards passing needing a last-second field goal from a practice squad kicker to sew up its first division title in 12 years?

61. High-scoring Titans earned 1st home playoff game in 12 years - Friday, January 1, 2021

And for the first time since the 2008 season, the Titans get to start the playoffs at home.

62. Henry passes 2K, Titans beat Texans 41-38 on late field goal - Friday, January 1, 2021

HOUSTON (AP) — Derrick Henry ran into the NFL record books with the best game of his career on Sunday.

But it was a lucky bounce that gave the Tennessee Titans a win over Houston Texans and their first AFC South title since 2008.

63. Derrick Henry becomes 8th player with 2,000 yards rushing - Friday, January 1, 2021

HOUSTON (AP) — King Henry added another jewel to his crown.

Already a back-to-back rushing champ before the game even started, Derrick Henry became the eighth player in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a season, finishing with a career-high 250 yards as the Titans beat the Houston Texans 41-38 on Sunday to win their first AFC South title since 2008.

64. Henry poised to repeat as NFL's rushing leader - Friday, December 25, 2020

NASHVILLE (AP) — Derrick Henry has been running into lots of NFL records, and now he's a game away from joining another exclusive group.

Only six men have led the NFL in rushing in consecutive seasons since the league went to a 16-game season, and no one has managed that feat since LaDainian Tomlinson went back to back in 2006 and 2007.

65. Surely Titans can clinch AFC South vs. lowly Texans, right? - Friday, January 1, 2021

For all the talk about locking up a playoff berth early and not having to fight and scramble just to get to the postseason, here are the Tennessee Titans once again having to win in Week 17 to nail down a playoff berth.

66. Snow joke: It’s down to finale again for Titans - Friday, January 1, 2021

Titans safety Kevin Byard isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to describing the defense’s poor play this season.

“We need to improve in everything,” Byard said after Sunday night’s prime-time drubbing by the Green Bay Packers.

67. Tennesseans go all-in for online sports betting - Friday, January 1, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic that impacted every facet of life in Tennessee this year also slowed the debut of online sports gambling across the state – but not the enthusiasm of bettors.

Even though its launch was delayed until Nov. 1, Tennessee enjoyed the best first month in U.S. betting history, two Las Vegas-based websites that analyze and track sports betting across the country report.

68. Titans get second chance to clinch AFC South with road win - Friday, December 25, 2020

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans at least should be comfortable in this spot.

For a fourth straight year, they go to the regular-season finale needing a victory to clinch a playoff berth. Just like a year ago, they head to Houston needing a win to guarantee they go to the postseason.

69. Titans' offense has rare off-night in 40-14 loss to Packers - Friday, December 25, 2020

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans still have a direct path to their second straight postseason berth even after wasting an opportunity to clinch their first AFC South title since 2008 on Sunday.

70. Adams shines in snow as Packers trounce Titans 40-14 - Friday, December 25, 2020

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams created a picturesque atmosphere as they connected for three touchdown passes on a snow-covered Lambeau Field.

71. High-scoring offense has Titans closing in on AFC South title - Friday, December 25, 2020

NASHVILLE (AP) — Ryan Tannehill admits he was frustrated not hearing his name called for the AFC's Pro Bowl team in arguably the best season of his career.

He had plenty of company in Tennessee.

72. Leaky defense must slow potent offense - Friday, December 25, 2020

The Titans head to the proverbial Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field for a rare Sunday Night prime-time game, one circled as a highlight of the season since the 2020 schedule was announced.

In years past, any Titans game that wound up Sunday night was due to flex scheduling by the league. But this appearance is by design, and it will be a big order for the Titans to try and fill against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

73. Titans ready (or not) for prime time - Friday, December 25, 2020

We know this much about the Tennessee Titans after 14 games: The offense is prolific – the best we have ever seen from the club since it moved to Tennessee in 1997. The Titans have scored 30 points or more nine times this season, and scored 40-plus points for the fourth time this season in Sunday’s 46-25 romp against the Detroit Lions.

74. Chasing AFC South title, 10 wins not enough for Titans - Friday, December 18, 2020

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans insist they aren't satisfied with much bigger goals than simply winning 10 games for the first time in 12 seasons.

They keep this up, returning to the AFC championship game could be only a stop on the way.

75. Tannehill has 5 TDs, Titans rout Lions 46-25 - Friday, December 18, 2020

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee is clicking on offense at a rate unseen in franchise history chasing the franchise's first AFC South title since 2008.

The Titans also think they can get better.

Ryan Tannehill accounted for a career-high five touchdowns passing and running, and Derrick Henry ran for 147 yards and a score to move the Titans closer to clinching their third playoff berth in four seasons Sunday routing the Detroit Lions 46-25.

76. Henry not worried about workload for Titans - Friday, December 18, 2020

NASHVILLE (AP) — Derrick Henry sees his job as being very simple. Take care of his body through the week so he can play on Sundays.

77. No time for letdown vs. outmanned Detroit - Friday, December 18, 2020

First down: Don’t let up now. The Titans showed what they were capable of against a bad Jacksonville team, not allowing the lowly Jaguars much sign of life in Sunday’s win. The Lions, too, are a non-contender, but the Titans can’t allow them to find life early and stick around to be in position to pull an upset.

78. Titans bringing balance to QB-dominated NFL - Friday, December 18, 2020

There was a time when offensive balance was a trendy thing in the NFL. It was the way you built a team to operate with equal parts run and pass, and using them to complement each other.

That was before the league became focused on passing first with quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.
