Titans - 45
Jaguars - 14
Well, all I can say for this game is that DarkTower stuffed my Johnson, but I injured his Cox.
After a wild start to the game that saw 28 points scored in the first 2 minutes of the game, the Titans defense was able to settle in and keep Jacksonville out of the end zone the rest of the game. The Jags front seven came to play though, and their focus seemed to be clearly on #28. DarkTower really forced me to throw the ball, and I was lucky that Jake Locker decided to have a good day. After having his first pass of the game dropped by Jared Cook Jr., Locker went on to complete his final 9 passes in a row. Cook rebounded as well, with 3 big catches. Locker ended up with 5 TD passes, each to a different receiver.
On the other side of the ball, MJD started off red hot, busting off an 80 yard run to start the game. At this point, I said "oh shit..." Thankfully, somehow the Tennessee defense remembered how to tackle and limited Jones-Drew to just 6 additional yards. Blaine Gabbert struggled, completing 3 passes for 22 yards, with 3 INTs. Some of this came in the 2nd half though when the Jags were trailing and were forced to the air a bit more.
And as mentioned earlier, Derek Cox was also injured after making a tackle, with what the game stated as being a "broken collarbone"). To me, this game was just a tale of two different quarterbacks (Locker's QB rating was a perfect 158.3, while Gabbert finished with a 0.0), and I could easily see the roles reversed in the rematch in week 17. GG, Brandon. Like I said, had it not been for Locker, I would have been screwed.
