Nashville Mayor Calls for Titans Game to Be Postponed Amid Local Blackouts

Nashville mayor John Cooper has called for the Titans to postpone Saturday’s game against The Texans amid local blackouts in the surrounding area.

The Tennessee Valley Authority announced Saturday morning that it had directed local power companies to reduce their power load due to the freezing temperatures, resulting in rolling blackouts around the state. As a result, Cooper has asked all non-essential businesses to reduce their power usage.
