They are trying a new concept in Nashville these days -- meaningful NFL games in December.
When the Titans host the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Nissan Stadium (1 p.m. ET, CBS), Tennessee will do so as part of a three-way tie for first place in the AFC South. It enters with a 6-6 mark, the same record as the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, who meet this week.
The last time Tennessee had more than a mathematical chance to make the playoffs at this stage of the season was 2011, when it finished 9-7 and missed out on the second wild card.
