What a mess. With a convincing win over the previously hopeful but now realistically hopeless Tennessee Titans on Sunday night, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts served notice that they are ready to get to the postseason and make a run for the Super Bowl. Other than that, however, it is beginning to look like no one else cares to be there. The next closest team to the Colts is, Lord help us, ...

While it lasted, it was a wonderful pipe dream. But with a 27-17 loss to the undefeated Indianapolis Colts, the Tennessee Titans learned a valuable lesson in reality: all the electrifying play in the world means nothing if you can't come up big in critical games. Not that any one particular person was to blame; Vince Young threw for 241 yards and two touchdownsùadmittedly, one was a late-game strike that didn't amount ...

Quite a bit of talk is bandied about nowadays as to who is the better running back: Is it Adrian Peterson, the Vikings' powerhouse who wows crowds and worries defenders with his ability to hit the hole hard and gain yards after contact? Or is it Chris Johnson, the fleet-of-foot phenom running for Tennessee who makes otherwise fast defensive backs look like they aren't even trying to catch him? How does one ...

With New Orleans' win over the Patriots on Monday night, an interesting scenario is taking shape for the playoffs this year; with two teams at 11-0, and neither having to face the other the remainder of the year, there is potential for a matchup of two undefeateds in the Super Bowl. Is this a crazy thought, or does it have a significant shot of coming to fruition? In the AFC, Indianapolis ...

He dodges. He stutter-steps. He fakes left, then darts right. And before you know it, Chris Johnson hasáeluded you, passed you like you are standing still, and scored. Sometimes from deep in his own territory. So why isn't he front-page news? Because he plays on the same team as Vince Young, that's why. Young's unbelievable resurgence in leading the TennesseeáTitans on an unprecedented comeback from an 0-6 start is certainly newsworthy; not only did ...

Chris Johnson had another 150+ yard effort in the matchup Sunday afternoon between the Tennessee Titans and the Arizona Cardinals, including an 85-yard rush for a touchdown in the second half. But if you watched the same Titans game I did, then you're probably thinking, "Big fat hairy deal; did you see that catch?!?!?" The catch I am referring to, of course, is the game-winning catch reeled in by rookie wide receiver ...

If there's one thing I know about football, it is thisùthe improbable occurs with striking regularity. In both individual accomplishments and team achievements, improbable events pepper the NFL history books. Memory alone conjures up theá1972 Dolphins undefeated season, going 14-0 in the regular season then 3-0 in the post season, a record that still stands. Or how about the Immaculate Reception, a play that John Madden disputes to this day, to give ...

With Tennessee Titans running back Chris "I'll see you in the end zone" Johnson rapidly piling up yards this season, there has been much speculation as to whether or not he will eclipse the 2,000 yard mark. Through nine weeksáJohnson is averaging just over 121 yards per game. With seven games remaining on the schedule, this average will put him at 1,939 yards, just shy of the goal. But when you consider ...

Opposing defenses beware: Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans is a running back to be taken very seriously. Due largely to the stellar performanceáof Johnson, the Titans earned their second win of the season, prevailing 34-27 over the San Fransisco 49ers at Candlestick Park onáSunday afternoon. Johnson's 25-carry, 135-yard effort on Sunday was peppered with highlight reel moments as he cut, weaved, and utterly outran the Niners defenders, including an overturned 81-yard ...

So the Titans were able to get a victory, their first of the year, against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars this week. Who gets the credit? Before we determine that, let's look at some numbers so we can put our emotions and opinions in perspective, shall we? Player No. 1's numbers look like this: 15-of-18 for 125 yards, one touchdown. Player No. 2's numbers look like this: 24 attempts for 228 yards, two touchdowns. Now, if ...
