You never want to have a “must win” game in October, because that means to expect some dark things for the rest of the season, but that is exactly what the Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Chargers have right now.
While it has almost gotten lost in the Marcus Mariota benching and Ryan Tannehill elevation, the Titans are at a miserable 2-4 as are the Chargers. With both teams on the precipice of losing any relevance in the NFL, there feels like some desperation on both sides for a win here.
The Titans have the advantage of having a “new” quarterback for Gus Bradley and the Chargers defense to plan for, not to mention getting to play at home.
