Or you could look at it this way about the last two Titans wins.
The Pats- just lost to the Dolphins at home- which killed the Bye they needed so badly to watch "scouting" videos. They were old, tired and ripe for an upset. All Titans had to do is pressure Brady a little and run the ball.
The Ravens had been sitting on their over-confident asses for two weeks hearing about how great they are. Jackson was bathed in endless MVP talk and figured he could just go out there and run around again like he has all year. Their defense was overrated and had trouble stopping the run verse the Jets and other teams- so it was a bad matchup from the get go. The bullies got bullied. All they had to do is run the ball and let the Ravens implode.
Now they face a team on a 7 game win streak that is battle-tested by one of the toughest schedules in the NFL. Even with tons of injuries only lost 4 games. A Chiefs team coming off a historic, multi-record breaking game, with a QB that played one of the best games in NFL history as well.
Titans are going to have to do more than run the ball, run a few gimmick plays and hope we step on our dicks like the last two teams.
