Titans keeping confidence in check, but feeling it heading into biggest game
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans of recent years, no matter how good, have always been predisposed for a drop-off.
Plenty of teams can get slapped in the face in the unpredictable NFL, it’s a big part of what makes the league compelling.
But Tennessee has made a habit of appearing not to be ready for crucial follow-ups or stretches following good wins or streaks.
After winning six of seven and sitting pretty at 8-4 in 2017, they flailed in losses at Arizona and San Francisco. The glorious overtime win over the Eagles in 2018 was quickly offset with a dud at Buffalo and two more losses. Later, the great wins at Dallas and over New England were followed by ugly losses at Indianapolis and Houston.
This surging version of the Titans could certainly lose Sunday’s crucial matchup with the Texans, but it doesn’t feel capable of a washout.
