Titans overcome a 14-3 halftime deficit to beat Jaguars 24-14, improve
to 10-0
Behind, ahead. Home, away. Backups, starters. No matter the
situation, the Tennessee Titans keep finding ways to win.
And stay unbeaten.
Kerry Collins threw three touchdown passes, Albert Haynesworth dominated
defensively again and the Titans improved to 10-0 with a 24-14 victory over the
Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Tennessee overcame a 14-3 halftime deficit, got solid play from third-string
cornerback Chris Carr and extended its franchise-record winning streak in the
regular season to 13. The Titans also won their seventh consecutive
regular-season road game.
The Jaguars (4-6) lost for the fourth time in six games, fell six games behind
AFC South leader Tennessee and probably ended any chance they had of returning
to the postseason.
Collins was at his best when the team needed him most, directing consecutive
touchdown drives in the third quarter that turned an 11-point deficit into a
three-point lead...

Preview:
While the Tennessee
Titans continue to find
themselves increasingly in the
spotlight with each successive
win, the blue-collar team's
focus is on its first goal of
the season - its first AFC South
title since 2002. Looking to
move closer to the division
crown, the unbeaten Titans hit
the road to face the
Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Tennessee (9-0) held on to win
again last week, outlasting
Chicago 21-14 at Soldier Field.
With its formidable run game
limited to 20 yards, veteran
Kerry Collins stepped up and
threw for 289 yards and two
touchdowns to give the Titans a
franchise-record 12th straight
victory...more
Prediction: Jags fans
shouldn't get too excited about a win in Detroit last week. Consider the
previous two weeks where they lost to Cincinnati and Cleveland. If Jacksonville
was serious about chasing down a playoff rung, they'd be riding a three-game win
streak. The Titans opened the season with a victory against the
Jaguars and they haven't looked back. Right now, they don't even
have to look over their shoulder at Indianapolis which is
amazing. Titans 24 - Jaguars 10
