Media pundits criticized the Tennessee Titans after its season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and Julio Jones dealt with criticism from Titans’ head coach, Mike Vrabel.
Derrick Henry and Jones learned how to battle adversity at the University of Alabama. Henry was told his style would not translate to success in the National Football League. Jones endured a hand injury at Alabama, yet he was selected at No. 6 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. National reporters could not believe it when the two decided to join forces during the offseason.
People looked at the Titans as a potential Super Bowl contender, and Sunday’s game versus the Seattle Seahawks showed why.
