LenDale White and Chris Johnson kept getting hit for losses. The
Tennessee Titans refused to take a bigger one, though, and now they’re 9-0.
Kerry Collins threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns, and the Titans beat the
Chicago Bears 21-14 Sunday to remain undefeated despite rushing for just 20
yards.
That was just one more than their franchise-low, a stunning performance for a
team that was third in the league entering the game. Even so, the Titans set a
franchise record with their 12th straight regular-season win thanks to Collins
and a defense that shut down Rex Grossman and the Bears.
Collins was 30-of-41 and did not throw an interception. Brandon Jones caught
eight passes for 82 yards, and Bo Scaife had 10 for 78 with a touchdown.
That was enough to make up for a miserable performance by the running backs...more

Preview:
The Tennessee Titans
recognize that challenges
remain, including playing a
significant portion of their
remaining schedule away from
home. The Titans look to improve
to 4-0 on the road for the first
time in team history Sunday when
they face a Chicago Bears team
that could be without starting
quarterback Kyle Orton.
Tennessee (8-0) came away with a
19-16 overtime victory against
Green Bay last Sunday, improving
to 5-0 at home for the first
time since 2003...more
Pick: The Titans were really
tested last week, and showed the resolve that will be very necessary in the cold
at Soldier Field this weekend. It seems to be
getting harder and harder for the NFL's last remaining undefeated team to stay
that way. Two weeks ago they needed 17 points in the fourth quarter to beat the
Colts and last week they had to resort to an overtime field goal to stay perfect
after Rob Bironas missed a game-winning try in regulation. The Bears will make it interesting, but this is
the season of the Titan, especially with Grossman quarterbacking the Bears Titans 14 - Bears 10
