Steelers History: From the Oilers to the Titans

As we recounted last week, the Houston Oilers were big rivals of the Pittsburgh Steelers back in the days of the AFC Central division. The team moved to Tennessee where they began the 1999 season as the Titans.

In the NFL records book, the Oilers statistics are still included with those of the Titans. Overall, the Steelers own a good record against their opponents with 46 wins and 31 defeats. After the move to Tennessee, the Titans edge the meetings 9-8 with the Steelers winning the last one by 40-17.

The worst Steelers defeat playing the Titans was the painful 34-31 overtime loss in the 2002 season playoffs.
