Going into Sunday’s game, the Tennessee Titans were incredibly shorthanded, as the injury report for the week was riddled with important players at several positions. Starting tackles Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin were unable to play. Backup RT Dennis Kelly was in the hospital with an illness. QB Marcus Mariota was rested with an injury to his throwing elbow. TE Delanie Walker was lost for the year. Nearly no one gave the Titans a chance to eek out a victory, but they did just that.
This game started out with a bit of trickery. On the Titans’ first offensive drive of the game, which stalled at their own 34-yard line, HC Mike Vrabel pulled something out of his sleeve.
