Forgetting that the weather tomorrow is far more conducive to the run game of which we really don't have any. 20 degree high, with 50% humidity with an 11mph wind feels like 6 degrees which is not really favorable to a high octane passing game.
Bottom line: Blocking and Tackling are not fun when it is bitter cold, SO as 'Ringleader' said who executes better in these conditions will win. Because to Ringleader's point that I have highlighted further catching the ball, giving up long runs, allowing blocked kicks, missing a snap, and fumbling are much easier in these conditions.

I agree that the weather conditions are being discounted -- but are we *sure* they favor the Titans? Won't the conditions be almost identical to last year? We passed the ball fine after the offensive line started blocking. Titans haven't played a cold weather game this year, and how many cold weather games does Tannehill have in his entire career?
