AFC South Champions.
Sounds good doesn't it?
The Titans
polished off the division in front of their home crowd in LP Field with a 28-9 win on Sunday. Smash and Dash were both effective in the win, making up for the struggles of Kerry Collins, who threw two picks, which led to the Titans
losing the turnover battle for the first time all season.
The defense what what we've seen all season and really banged up Ken Dorsey, whose jersey was dirty and took longer and longer to get up as the game went on.
What really set the tone for the game from my perspective was the decision to go for it on 4th and 1, down 6-0, which led to the playfake by Collins and dump off to Ahmard Hall and a touchdown. The Titans never really looked back after that.
The Titans take on the Texans next week, and had Tony Romo sacked up and beaten Pittsburgh, we'd be talking about clinching home-field throughout next week. But, the Jets did lose, so the Titans do have one of the top two seeds. Who would have thought this five months ago?
It Was Over When...: Ahmard Hall caught a 28-yard TD pass on 4th and 1 in the second quarter. The Titans outscored the Browns 28-3 starting with that touchdown.
Gameball Goes To: Chris Johnson. As much as I'd love to give it to Smash and Dash for the second week in a row, CJ
joined some elite company with his 136 yards and a TD. CJ is the third Oilers/Titans rookie to rush for 1,000 yards. The other two? Just Earl Campbell and Eddie George. Congrats Chris.
Stat of the Game: 131. That's the penalty yardage the Titans racked up on Sunday. 13 penalties. That's something the Titans cannot due if they want to succeed come playoff time.
Surprise of the Game: Kerry Collins' two interceptions. Not very common for Kerry to turn the ball over like that. Hopefully it's not a long-term trend.
