"Also: The Texans seek the first 4-0 NFL start in the city’s history. They’ve never done it, and the franchise never did it in its 37 seasons in Houston as the Oilers, either. … "

The good Oilers teams back in the early 90s tended to start terribly. I think one of those teams, 1992 maybe, started 1-4.

Yep, remember that all too well.......

Still though, 47 years without a 4-0 start? Kind of mind boggling.

Last week Tennesse had a punt return for a TD and a 105 yd kick return for a TD so hopefully our specials teams are playing their lanes and tackling well.

Titans pass defense hasn't been great but they got an interception for a pick six also, so hopefully we continue to protect the ball and not throw any interceptions.

Locker had several deep throws for TD also so good news JJo practiced Friday and will make out pass defense better.

I think our offense should run and pass successfully, and gets off to a quick start.

I'd like to see the defense front seven get lots of pressure and sacks.
Will try to watch both OLB play.

Hopefully Chris Johnson continues his miserable 33 caries for 45 yards season.

And Titans scored 21 points in 4Q so defense and offense need to play the full games, even if have a lead after three quarters.

Titans WR Kenny Britt is not playing due to an ankle injury.
