NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After making it to the AFC Championship Game last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars, featuring a power running game and vaunted defense, were considered the bully in the AFC South.
Tennessee Titans All-Pro safety Kevin Byard doesn't view Jacksonville as the bully, but he said it was essential to fight the Jaguars like they were the bully by taking it to them early and not letting up.
With that approach the Titans beat the Jaguars for the third consecutive time Sunday -- this one a physical 9-6 brawl in Jacksonville -- and made a statement in the process.
