Titans go 7 - 0

Last night the Titans had the most fierce and hyped game they have had in years. The Titans were the only undefeated team left in the NFL and if they won they would have a two game lead in the AFC. So needless to say the pressure was on. Also it seems that many people feel that the Titans are overrated because they had somewhat of weak schedule so far so when playing a team such as the Colts they felt they had something to prove.

In the start of the game, the Titans took control and immediately put up three points with a field goal. Followed by this Hope, one of the Titans star defensive players, intercepted a pass by the Colts quarterback. However from here the game took a drastic turn. The Colts stepped up their game and lead fourteen to six going into the half. After returning to the field the Titans proved once again why they are still undefeated. Their defense and offense stepped up and began to crush the Colts. By the start of the third quarter the game was already out of hand and the Titans ended up taking home the victory with a 31 - 21 victory.

Week 7 Fun

Its week 7, and the Titans are the only undefeated team left in the NFL. This week they traveled to Kansas City to play the Chiefs. This week however, I got to go to the game and see them destroy the Chiefs. On Saturday, October 18th my fraternity brother Tom and I traveled to Kansas City to watch the game. Upon arriving in Kansas we immediately drove to the most amazing disc golf course that either of us had ever played. After that we were pretty worn out and just took it easy the rest of the night and prepared for the game the next day. On game-day, Sunday, Tom and I woke up at 7 a.m. packed our cooler, grabbed the grill, and headed to start tailgating. After tailgating for several hours we finally entered the stadium to witness Tennessee massacre Kansas City. 

Kansas City was in trouble from the begging, having one of the worst offenses in the league, the Titans defense easily shut down the Chiefs and hurt their starting quarterback. The game was about as one sided as you can get. Because the Chiefs have a horrible run defense the Titans spent most of their time running the ball getting around 8 yards per play. The Titans won the game 34- 10 and are halfway to a perfect season.

Week 6 = No Titans

Its week 6 for the NFL. The Titans remain the only undefeated team for the first time in a long time. However, they will not make an appearance this week to improve their record to 6 and 0. Instead this week is Tennessee's bye week, and the team is taking full advantage of their week off. According to www.titansonline.com coach Jeff Fisher is taking it easy on the team and gave them the weekend off to heal up and mentally prepare for next weeks game against the Kansas City Cheifs. However, the Titans should be confident in the upcoming game because Kansas City is one of the leagues worst team, if not the worst.

As a Titans fan I am eager to see how the bye week effects quaterback Vince Young. It was rumored last week that Young would start against the Baltimore Ravens, but he ended up once again sitting the bench. Because of Kerry Collins success on the field there really hasnt been much reporting on Youngs status, and it is believed that he will probably return as soon as Collins starts to faulter.

Titans 5 - 0

This week the titans played their old rivals the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams pride themselves on their strong defense and fast running game and it seemed widely known that the titans were probably going to lose. However the Titans decided this week they were out for respect. Tennessee star Vince Young still finds himself riding the bench behind backup Kerry Collins, but it seems that Collins has a lot to bring to the Titans.

This was not the most exciting game to watch. Because both teams have pretty good defenses it all came down to the 4th quarter. And it seem that this Titans team was ready to fight till the end. Collins threw a 11-yard touchdown pass to Alge Crumpler with 1:56 remaining in the game. This touchdown was followed by an interception by Nick Harper giving the Titians the win.
