Well, three hours, two halves and four near heart attacks later, the Tennessee Titans are 8-0. I was sure the streak was dead when Rob Bironas' potential game winner ricocheted off the upright but the boys in Two Tone Blue won the toss and went right down the field from the win. Kerry Collins didn't have his best game of the season, in fact, he should have been picked off three or four times but he made throws when we needed them. Chris Johnson had another great game and is definitely battling with Matt Ryan for rookie of the year. The Titans have the the NFC North leading and Rex "The Sex Cannon" Grossman coming up next week. Let's do it.
It Was Over When...: Rob Bironas' 41 yard field goal split the uprights with nine-plus minutes to go in overtime.
Gameball Goes To...: I'm going to have to give it to Chris Johnson, and not just because I picked him in the preview. Chris had 161 total yards and a touchdown and made a lot of big plays for us. Honorable mention goes to Brandon Jones. Yes, that Brandon Jones. No, I'm not crazy. Brandon had four grabs for 36 yards and an amazing one handed grab along the sidelines. He also had a big grab late in the fourth to keep a drive alive.
Stat of the Game: 4. The Titans sacked Aaron Rodgers four times on Sunday, forcing a fumble and pressured him all day long.
Surprise of the Game: Bironas' miss to end the fourth quarter. Rob's been known for his clutch kicks (see Indy and Giants in 06-07 and Houston last year) and he's missed two kicks in two weeks following no misses all year. Just something to keep your eye on.
