The Titans were able to taste victory Sunday after a hard-fought battle with an AFC rival. á Trouble is, they were the wrong Titans. The New York Jetsùin their 1960 New York Titans throwback uniformsùdefeated Tennessee 24-17 in what could potentially be a back-breaking loss for Tennessee, dropping them to 0-3. á Since 1990, when the NFL went to its current 12 team playoff format, only three teams to start the season 0-3 ...

Here we go again. Another must-win game, another formidable foe for the Titans. While Tennessee and the New York Jets don't exactly share a storied rivalry steeped in bitterness, there are a couple of dubiously familiar faces that the Titans will see on the opposing sideline this weekend. á Rex Ryan, the former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator, is now the Jets' head coach. He also brought along linebacker Bart Scott, a seven-year veteran ...

Going into week three, there are nine teams that have yet to taste victory this season. While being 0-2 hardly spells complete disaster, it does, however, make a serious playoff run a bit harder. On the flip side, being 2-0 doesn't necessarily guarantee success come January; collapses are just as much a part of the game as comebacks For some of these winless squads, the slow start will merely ...

It's a safe bet that nobody saw this coming.   While neither the Titans' not the  Texans' winning or losing would have been classified as an upset—both have high expectations this season—an old fashioned shootout was the last thing on people's minds as game day approached. Most had this matchup pegged be a "strength vs. strength" affair; the vaunted Titans' defense taking on the resurgent, explosive Texans' offense.   As is turned out, ...

With all of the hype and promise surrounding this year's talented Tennessee Titans squad, it is sometimes easy to forget the long lost days of lore. Their thirty seven years in Houston makes it almost seem like it was a different franchise altogether. From the wide open, new frontier days of the nascent AFL to the free wheeling 1970's, when oil derricks and cowboy hats were the ...

"Injury prone." "Underachiever."   "One-trick pony." Many negative labels have been attached to Tennessee Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse throughout his career—some deserved, some not. But the fact remains that the man can still flat-out play.   After bursting onto the scene his rookie year, in which he tallied 14.5 sacks and won Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, the sky was the limit for the man they called "The Freak." While he continued to not only ...

So much for peaking early. After Thursday night's 13-10 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Tennessee Titans found themselves in relatively unfamiliar territory.   0-1.   In times like this, the old Nietzsche axiom-cum-cliché rings true. "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger." Basically, this is a good thing.  But more on that later.  First things first: the negatives. For one thing, the Titans further perpetuated their reputation as not being able to ...
