Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans - 2022 Week 8

Page 1

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (4-2) take a four-game winning streak to Houston this week for the first of two annual matchups with the AFC South rival Texans (1-4-1). Kickoff at NRG Stadium (capacity 71,995) is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. CDT on Sunday, Oct. 30.

The last time the Titans and Texans met was Jan. 9, when they played in Houston for their 2021 season finale. Ryan Tannehill's four touchdown passes keyed a 28-25 victory, which clinched the AFC's top seed in the playoffs for the Titans. The victory, which gave them their third consecutive win at Houston, also avenged Houston's 22-13 triumph at Nissan Stadium on Nov. 21.

TITANS KEEP WINNING WAYS FOLLOWING BYE

The Titans returned from an open date in Week 6 to host the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. In a game that featured three takeaways from the Titans defense, they never trailed and ultimately prevailed by a final score of 19-10. It kept the Titans in sole possession of first place in the AFC South, ahead of the 3-3-1 second-place Colts.

The Titans defense was sparked by veteran safety Andrew Adams, who was appearing in his third game with the club after being signed from Pittsburgh's practice squad on Sept. 21. In the second quarter, Adams returned an interception 76 yards for his first career touchdown and the team's longest interception return since linebacker Zach Brown’s 79-yard touchdown return against Jacksonville on Dec. 30, 2012.

Titans running back Derrick Henry registered his third consecutive 100-yard rushing game, gaining 128 yards on 30 carries. His 536 rushing yards in 2022 currently rank fourth in the NFL. With 73 total career touchdowns (70 rushing and three receiving), he is tied with Earl Campbell for second place in team history and needs only one touchdown to match Eddie George's franchise record of 74 touchdowns.

Randy Bullock made all four of his field goal attempts, including kicks of 38 yards and 48 yards during the fourth quarter.

THE TEXANS

The Texans are in their first season under Lovie Smith, who was promoted to head coach after serving as Houston's associate head coach/defensive coordinator in 2021. This is his 12th NFL season as a head coach, having spent nine seasons with the Chicago Bears (2004-12) and two campaigns with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2013-14).

Like the Titans, Smith's team was coming out of its bye last week. The Texans were in Las Vegas to face the Raiders and held a 20-17 lead in the third quarter. However, the Raiders scored the contest's final 21 points to secure a 38-20 win and hand the Texans their fourth loss in a five-game stretch.

Texans quarterback Davis Mills is in his second NFL season since being selected out of Stanford University in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has started every game in 2022, passing for 1,350 yards with seven touchdowns and five interceptions.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK

THE TITANS DEFENSE

¾

Enters the week with a streak of three consecutive games with three sacks. A fourth straight game with three or more sacks would be the team's longest streak since a five-game run in 2017.

DL DENICO AUTRY

¾ Can register his fourth consecutive game with at least one sack. It would tie the longest such streak of his career (2021).

S KEVIN BYARD

¾ With 24 career interceptions, he needs one interception to tie Michael Griffin and Ken Houston (25) for eighth place all-time for the franchise. He would tie Griffin for the most interceptions for the franchise during its "Titans era" (1999–present).

¾ Needs two interceptions to tie Mike Reinfeldt (26) for seventh place all-time for the franchise.

RB DERRICK HENRY

¾ Needs one touchdown of any kind (73 career) to pass Earl Campbell (73) and tie Eddie George (74) for for first place on the franchise's alltime touchdowns list. With two more touchdowns, he will pass George for the franchise record. Henry has 70 career rushing touchdowns and three receiving touchdowns.

¾ Needs three rushing touchdowns to tie Earl Campbell (73) for the most rushing touchdowns in franchise history.

¾ Needs 23 receiving yards (977 career) to reach 1,000 career receiving yards and join Eddie George and Chris Johnson as the franchise's third player with 7,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards.

¾ Needs 130 scrimmage yards to give him five consecutive games reaching the mark, which would tie his career-best streak (2021).

¾ Can record his fourth consecutive 100-yard rushing game, which would tie for the second-best streak of his career (five games in 2021 and four games in 2019). It would be his 32nd career 100-yard rushing game, including regular season (29) and playoffs (three).

¾ Enters the game with a streak of three consecutive 200-yard rushing games against the Texans.

LB DAVID LONG JR.

¾ Can register his third consecutive game with an interception. He would be the franchise's first player to accomplish the feat since Michael Griffin (four games) in 2010.

QB RYAN TANNEHILL

¾ Can record his 25th career 300-yard passing game and his ninth such performance since joining the Titans in 2019. Nine 300-yard games with the Titans would put him ahead of Marcus Mariota (eight) for fourth place in franchise history.

¾ Can record his fourth consecutive start with no interceptions, which would tie for the longest streak of his career.

¾ Needs one start to become the sixth quarterback to register 50 regularseason starts with the organization. He would join George Blanda, Dan Pastorini, Warren Moon, Steve McNair and Marcus Mariota

SERIES HISTORY

The Titans-Texans rivalry is in its 21st year since the expansion Texans began play and the AFC South was formed in 2002. In 40 games, the Titans are 22-18 against the Texans, including a 12-8 mark at Nissan Stadium and a 10-10 record at NRG Stadium.

In the first meeting of 2021, played on Nov. 21, the Texans won on a rain-soaked afternoon at Nissan Stadium, snapping the Titans' six-game winning streak. The Titans were victimized by five turnovers, including four interceptions by the Texans defense. Despite the Titans defense allowing only 190 yards, including seven total yards in Houston's final six drives, the Texans prevailed by a final score of 22-13.

In the rematch at Houston on Jan. 9, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill passed for 287 yards and touchdowns to four different receivers. He outdueled Texans rookie Davis Mills, who had 301 yards and three touchdown passes. With the 28-25 win, the Titans clinched the top seed in the AFC playoff field.

In the 2020 season finale (Jan. 3, 2021), the Titans traveled to Houston needing a win to secure their first AFC South title since 2008. Sam Sloman's 37-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter gave the Titans a 41-38 win, capping an historic afternoon during which Derrick Henry established a franchise record with 250 rushing yards and concluded the season with a franchise-record 2,027 rushing yards. It gave the Titans their first sweep of the Texans since 2007.

In the 2019 finale, the two eventual playoff teams met at NRG Stadium. The Texans had already clinched the AFC South, while the Titans went into the day potentially needing a win to secure the wild card berth. The Texans had defended their home turf a series-record seven consecutive times against the Titans, but the Titans came away with a 35-14 win.

The Titans franchise has a rich and storied history with the city of Houston. Under late owner K.S. “Bud” Adams Jr., the Titans existed as the Houston Oilers from 1960-96. In Houston, the Oilers won the first two American Football League Championships and made a total of 15 playoff appearances.

Ten players who spent a significant portion of their careers in a Houston Oilers uniform are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including former quarterback Warren Moon, outside linebacker Robert Brazile, defensive tackle Curley Culp and offensive lineman Bruce Matthews

The team moved to Tennessee in 1997 and in 1999 adopted the “Titans” moniker.

Current Titans Controlling Owner and Chairman Amy Adams Strunk is a graduate of the University of Texas and resides in Waller, Texas.

TITANS-TEXANS: THE LAST MEETING

2021 Week 18: Titans 28, Texans 25 Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022 • 12:00 p.m. CT • NRG Stadium

In Week 18 of the 2021 season, the Titans traveled to Houston to face the Texans and won by a score of 28-25. In doing so, Tennessee finished the season with a 12-5 record to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, providing homefield advantage and a first-round bye. QB Ryan Tannehill threw four touchdowns as the offense totaled 405 yards, including 124 rushing yards and 281 net passing yards.

The Titans jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, scoring touchdowns on three consecutive possessions and never relinquishing the lead. On the first scoring possession, Tannehill completed a 19-yard pass to WR Julio Jones, a 17-yard toss to TE Anthony Firkser, and a 15-yard ball to RB D’Onta Foreman. Ultimately, Tannehill connected with Firkser for a five-yard touchdown pass, capping a 94-yard drive with a 7-0 lead. After forcing Houston to punt, the Tennessee offense took possession at their own 15-yard line. WR A.J. Brown caught three passes for 52 yards and one touchdown on the drive, as his 14-yard strike from Tannehill doubled Tennessee’s lead, 14-0. Next, the Titans defense forced a three-and-out to get the ball back with under a minute re maining in the half. A pass interference call on Houston gave Tennessee a first down at the Houston four-yard line, and Tannehill quickly found WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the end zone for a four-yard touchdown. The Titans took a 21-0 lead into halftime.

Houston got on the board in the third quarter with two scoring drives on consecutive possessions. First, a 72-yard drive was ushered along by a 20-yard pass from Texans QB Davis Mills to Texans RB Rex Burkhead, before Mills connected with Texans WR Chris Moore for a 28-yard touchdown on a flea-flicker, 21-7 Titans. On their next pos session with Houston facing a first down at the Tennessee 15-yard line, DT Jeffery Simmons sacked Mills for a loss of nine. The Texans couldn’t overcome the down and distance deficit and were forced to settle for a 31-yard field goal, 21-10 Titans.

In the fourth quarter, Houston tacked on another score to pull within three points of the Titans. Texans WR Danny Amendola caught a 37-yard pass and Texans WR Nico Collins added a 30-yard reception to move the sticks, before Mills connected with Amendola for a seven-yard touchdown. Houston elected to go for two, and the conver sion attempt was successful as Mills connected with Amendola for an extra two points, 21-18 Titans.

TITANS STARTERS

However, the Titans responded on the ensuing possession with a 75-yard scoring drive that saw Tannehill acrobatically evade a third-down sack to complete a 36-yard pass to Westbrook-Ikhine and then toss a 24-yard completion to Firkser on third down. Ultimately, Tannehill threw his fourth touchdown pass of the day, as a three-yard score to Jones put the Titans ahead, 28-18.

Houston added an additional touchdown on a 26-yard pass from Mills to Amendola to make it 28-25, but Tennessee was able to control the clock for the remainder of the fourth quarter, as the Titans preserved a 28-25 road win and locked up the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

TEXANS HEAD COACH LOVIE SMITH

LOVIE SMITH AT A GLANCE

Lovie Smith was named the fifth head coach of the Houston Texans on February 7, 2022. With 41 total seasons of coaching experience, Smith owns 11 previous seasons of experience as an NFL head coach, having spent nine seasons (2004-12) with the Chicago Bears and two seasons (2013-14) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 20 total seasons of coaching in the NFL, Smith has taken part in 171 regular season wins, eight playoff appearances, six division titles, three NFC Championship games and two Super Bowls (XXXVI and XLI). Smith received NFL Coach of the Year honors from the Associated Press while with the Bears in 2005 and has coached players to 53 Pro Bowls and 17 AP FirstTeam All-Pro selections.

As associate head coach and defensive coordinator for the Texans in 2021, Smith led a defense that recorded 25 total takeaways, a total that tied for 10th in the NFL and marked a 16-takeaway improvement from the team’s total of nine in 2020. Houston’s defense intercepted 3.1 percent of opponent passing attempts, the fifth-highest rate in the NFL, while 11 separate defenders contributed with at least one interception, tied for most in the NFL.

Smith left Chicago ranked third all-time in coaching victories, behind only Pro Football Hall of Famers George Halas and Mike Ditka. Registering a careerhigh 13 wins in 2006 to tie predecessor Dick Jauron for the most victories by a Bears head coach in his third season, Smith led Chicago to home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs and the team’s first NFC Championship since its Super Bowl season of 1985. Smith was named the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year for 2005 after becoming the fastest head coach in Bears history to lead the team to a division title, doing so in his second campaign while setting a franchise record for victories by a sophomore head coach with an 11-5 record.

In Smith’s first season as an NFL defensive coordinator with St. Louis in 2001, he helped the Rams return to the Super Bowl after missing the playoffs the previous season as his defense allowed fewer points and total yards per game than the previous year.

Smith began his coaching career at his hometown high school, Big Sandy (Texas) High School in 1980 before moving to Cascia Hall Prep in Tulsa, Okla., in 1981. A native of Big Sandy, Texas, Smith led the Wildcats to three consecutive state championships in high school and was all-state three years as a defensive end and linebacker. Smith was a two-time All-American and three-time AllMissouri Valley Conference defensive back and linebacker at the University of Tulsa. Smith and his wife, MaryAnne, have three sons, Mikal, Matthew, and Miles, who is the linebackers coach for the Texans.

In Week 7 of the 2022 season, the Titans hosted the Colts and won by a score of 19-10, completing a season sweep of Indianapolis and extending Tennessee’s season win streak to four games. The Titans defense stifled the Colts, shutting Indianapolis out in the first half of the game, securing three takeaways, and surrendering just 292 total yards.

Ultimately, K Randy Bullock was able to convert a 27-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead in the first stanza.

In the second quarter, with Indianapolis driving and in Tennessee territory, Colts QB Matt Ryan threw an interception to DB Andrew Adams who returned the ball for a 76yard touchdown. The pick six gave the Titans a 10-0 lead.

On the ensuing Indianapolis possession with the Colts again driving and in Tennes see territory, Ryan threw another interception to LB David Long Jr., who returned the ball four yards to give the Titans possession at their own 38-yard line. RB Derrick Henry accounted for four carries for 30 yards before Bullock converted his second field goal try, a 28-yarder to make it 13-0 heading into halftime.

Indianapolis got on the board in the third quarter after constructing a 58-yard scoring drive. Ryan connected with Colts WRs Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman Jr. for first downs, as well as Colts RB Nyheim Hines for a first-and-goal at the six-yard line. Ultimately, Ryan connected with Campbell for a four-yard touchdown to make it 13-7, Titans.

However, the Titans responded with a score of their own. The 55-yard scoring drive was aided by TE Austin Hooper who had two first-down catches for a total of 37 yards on the possession. The drive culminated in a 38-yard field goal by Bullock, 16-7 Titans. Later in the fourth stanza, both teams tacked on an additional field goal to boost the

score to 19-10. On the Colts’ final possession, with under five minutes remaining in regulation, Ryan connected with Pittman for what would have been a nine-yard first down. However, after an initial ruling of an incomplete pass, the Titans challenged the call and won as the ruling was reversed to award the Titans their third forced turnover of the day. CB Terrance Mitchell forced Pittman to fumble the ball, and S Amani Hooker recovered it for Tennessee, as the team was then able to run the clock out and secure the win.

HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL

Was it helpful to get the forced turnovers on defense on a day where the offense struggled?

There was some good defense. It is great to get turnovers and for the most part take care of the football. That is going to be the formula, if you guys haven’t figured that out. That is going to have to be how we play. It is a battle. That is a very good defense. We were close on some things. We will have to continue to work and look. I am just extremely proud of these guys and proud of all three phases.

What does the different players battling through injuries today say about the toughness of this team?

It is amazing. I never would have dreamed that given the opportunity to be a head coach in this league, that I would be able to coach a bunch of guys that are as tough as these guys and care about each other like these men do. I know this is professional football and there are a lot of tough guys. I understand that but top to bottom, it becomes somewhat infectious when guys are peeling themselves off the turf, getting checked out, getting taped up and doing what they have to do to be out there. I am extremely proud of their toughness, their resolve and mental toughness.

Was defensive back Andrew Adams one of the players that rose to the occasion today?

Him and T-Mitch (Terrance Mitchell) were both signed on the same day. Neither of them were working. They were on practice squads. They took advantage of their opportunities. I know that it hasn’t been perfect, no one is. They made huge plays today, turnovers, one that pretty much iced the game and the other one broke it open.

How important was it to not give up the touchdown after the Titans lost the fumble?

The defense did a great job of holding them to a field goal. That was key. We had the one drive that they’re going to reflect back on. I will have to look back and see where we went off out of the half. Other than that, I thought they played great. They made them earn it. They were able to get the two turnovers.

Colts quarterback Matt Ryan had a season-best game the week prior, what went differently this week?

We communicated. I don’t think we were caught off guard by their ability to work on the football. I thought the communication was there. I thought we had guys out on the field that were supposed to be out there. We made them earn it. When the quarterback was forced to hold the football, guys were getting to him and making him move around.

On tight end Austin Hooper’s progression leading up to his season best game today?

Huge game. He helped us out. Where we’re at right now, there has not been a whole lot of opportunities for production. We’ve talked about this, just the number of snaps. We clearly have appreciated what he has done and his work. Given the opportunity, that is what you have to do. You have to go make some plays. He came up huge. Ryan (Tannehill) has always had trust in him. We were just able to get him out there today. He had two really nice catches down the field. He had the third down catch, being able to cut back in and keep that drive alive, which was great.

Was there anything that led Andrew Adams to the success he had today? No, just some of those quick game passes it looked like he was involved in. He was down around the line of scrimmage. I will have to take a look at the film, but the interception was a great job by the players getting the check and then executing it. Bud (Dupree) being able to match the hand and the other guys, the defensive backs, Kristian (Fulton) and Andrew (Adams) being able to break on it. It was well-executed against their empty.

Was quarterback Ryan Tannehill efficient in not getting the offense in trou ble and taking what the defense gave him?

That is kind of what we have to do. We have to find ways to win football games. I am really proud of the way that they did that, especially Ryan (Tannehill). We have to continue to protect him better. Nothing good comes from having your quarterback hit in this league. We know that. We will have to get back to work. His toughness is off the charts, along with a lot of other guys. I appreciate them all.

How impactful was it to have safety Amani Hooker shift into the nickel corner position?

We will take a look at the film. I’m sure there were some plays he would like to have back. I can remember a pass in particular over on their sidelines that we probably have to be a little better on and challenge. I saw him replacing, I saw him fitting on a run, I saw him playing fast. I’ll try to take a look at the film. He really has a full grasp of our defense. Whether it is what the corner is supposed to do, what the safety is supposed to do, or what the nickel is supposed to do. He has a versatile skillset. He has shown that since he has been with us.

What is it like to be 4-2 with four straight wins after beginning 0-2?

We were coming off a Bye being able to get a victory after a tough week of work against an opponent that clearly showed that they weren’t going to go away. I’m proud of our guys for finding ways to win and hopefully we can continue as we work our way into Houston in this division. It certainly feels good to be able to say that we have won four games in a row by, for the most part, doing things the way that we think that they need to be done right now.

What does it mean to have outside linebacker Bud Dupree back on de fense?

It gives us some size and some speed. We will see how he played and take a look at it. Those are our expectations for those players that are at a certain level and a compensation level. That is how this business works. Players that you pay a lot to, they have to perform. It should come as no secret in a salary cap.

What was your reaction to that 10-yard pile push by running back Derrick Henry and the offense in the fourth quarter?

Unbelievable. I felt like that just pretty much summed up everything that we wanted to do. Good defense, good run defense, they’re fast, they’re big in the middle and we were close. It was great to see Derrick (Henry) bust out of there at the end. That 10-yard pile push or that run for 10 yards, you were starting to look at the clock and you were like, ‘OK, it is going to be third down at the twominute warning and then what’s going to happen?’ Next thing you know they keep pushing the pile. I know that those guys will be excited and hopefully there is a good picture that we can hang in the hallway.

How impressed are you with linebacker David Long Jr.’s ongoing effort?

These are guys that have played a lot of football for us. Whether it is Bud (Dupree), Jeffrey Simmons, Denico Autry, Kevin Strong, Amani Hooker, David Long Jr., we have high expectations for them. That is how it has to go. They have to tackle the guy with a ball, they have to rush, they have to cover. There is no magic defensive pill or call that is going to get all that to happen. When we win it is on them, and that we do not let them throw the ball over our heads or have X-plays, we do a good job on third down and get some turnovers. All the credit goes to the players. That is what has to happen in any professional sport, is that your front-line players have to play good for you to win. Let’s make sure everybody understands that.

What is your knack for finding players who don’t have teams and getting them to a place where they can contribute?

There is usually an opportunity. We try to meet with them. Whether it is Anthony Midget or Scott Booker, those two players for example, (Terrance) Mitchell and (Andrew) Adams, they meet a lot. Given the opportunity, they’ve tried to take advantage of it. I don’t know if there’s any knack other than trying to spend some time with a guy and put him in places that we feel like he can help us. Then there is also a need. There was a need because somebody is out, just that they’re given an opportunity.

Being 5-0 in games following a Bye Week in your head coaching career, what do you attribute that success to?

I would look at the turnover margin. Probably they play better, and they play well. We take care of the football. I haven’t looked at what those numbers are after the

You’ve been asked about (Austin) Hooper on a weekly basis. How good was it to see him get involved today?

Yeah, it was great. I’ve said it all along, the ball is going to find him. The guy is doing a good job for us. He’s consistent, he works in practice, I have a great connection with him, so it’s just a matter of time. And today he made two huge plays. The first one in tight coverage, before that, back it up, on third down I had a throw, a short to him. He was able to break a tackle, make a guy miss and get it converted into a huge third down for us. Then I was able to hit him on a crossing route there a little bit later. He made a great adjustment to the ball. I didn’t see it, I got hit, but from where I threw it, I knew he was going to have to adjust to it. So, he was able to make that play. Then on the final scoring drive, a huge catch kind of off schedule on getting contact and hanging with it and making the play. So, happy to see him get going.

Ryan, you jumped up quick. You seemed like you were trying to walk it off. Were you frustrated when you had to go back down? Yeah, I want to get up if I can. And when I got up, I realized I was going to need a little bit of time, more than 10 seconds to get back in the huddle and get ready for the next one. So, yeah, frustrating to have to go back down in that moment, but I knew I wasn’t going to be able to play on the next snap effectively. So, I had to go back down and reset.

Bye Week, but I would start there, start with the turnover margin.

What happened with Ryan Tannehill to hurt his ankle and have him miss the one snap when quarterback Malik Willis replaced him?

I don’t know. We will take a look at it. I thought it was a play that was going to help. I liked the call. We have to execute better. It has got to be better. We will continue to find ways to have Malik (Willis) help us. He didn’t bat an eye going in there when Ryan (Tannehill) was down for the snap. Those are good things.

Have you gained even more appreciation for Ryan Tannehill’s toughness with the amount that he has been hit these last few years?

I’ve said that since he’s been here. That is the one thing I show the team. How many quarterbacks turn their back in this league, then turn around and throw a strike or some sort of outward breaking route with guys barreling into him, which we would like to not have. He does that. It has certainly helped us, and I’ve al ways had that appreciation for him.

QUARTERBACK RYAN TANNEHILL

What’s the status? How you feeling there, Ryan? Did it come close to knocking you out for the rest of the game?

It doesn’t feel great. You had to go through there at the end. It comes with the territory, right? I’m going to be out there if I can at all, if at all possible. I’m going to do everything I can this week to get it right.

Walking boot just to kind of take some pressure off of it for now? Yeah, just to give it a little time to heal up, take some pressure off while getting out of the stadium, getting home and all that type of stuff.

Mike Vrabel compliments you on (being tough). Where does that toughness come from?

I don’t know, probably a little bit the way I was raised and some of it is just the way I am, you know? Life is hard, right? Life is hard. Football is hard at times. It’s all about how you respond. You’re going to go through tough things physically, emotionally, mentally, and as people, we’re going to grow from those experiences if we allow ourselves to. So, this is just another bump in the road. Another thing I can grow from. So, just work through it and try to be better for it.

What happened, Ryan? Did it get under you?

I kind of got rolled up from the back. It was through the pass and was there in the pocket and somebody fell into me from the back and kind of got my knee.

This team showed some toughness to win this game today?

Yeah, no doubt. We showed toughness all year and I’m proud of our guys and the way we battled today. Defense played great all game, had some huge stops for us. Offense did enough and got the job done there at the end. We were able to move the ball, get points in crucial situations on our next-to-last drive and the last drive there, able to get a couple of first downs and run out the clock.

You guys have struggled in the second half so far this year. How did you feel about today’s second half performance offensively?

Yeah, I mean, obviously we didn’t light up the scoreboard but we did what we needed to do to go get the win. We were able to score points there, like I said, on our next-to-last drive and to make it a two-score game when we needed to. And then, like I said, move the ball enough to get a couple of first downs and finish the game.

You kind of touched on the (Austin) Hooper catch at the end. Did you see a replay of it? And pretty crazy how he was able to kind of keep concentration and catch that ball?

Yeah, it was a great catch. Yeah, like I said, off schedule. I saw the replay whenever they were reviewing it. I took contact in the back, off balance, ball kind of got bobbled around and I think he pinned it against his forearm or something there on the outside. So, just a heck of a catch by him, hanging with it through the contact and making a play.

How tough was the mobility for you on that play? I think that came after the injury, too. Yeah, it definitely didn’t feel great. The O-line did a good job protecting me there. I kind of came down on the right side a little bit. I was able to move off schedule. They did a good job of covering our initial play and offense kept working for me through the middle of the field there and made the play.

Did (Mike) Vrabel say anything to you, Ryan? He was talking to us a lot about your toughness, the team’s toughness in general. Did he single you out or talk to you about that? He’s given me affirmations, saying that he’s proud of me and appreciates me for being tough and all that type of stuff. So, you know, I definitely appreciate that.

Four straight wins after an 0-2 start. What do you attribute that streak to and that turnaround right now? We’re a tough team. We’re going to keep battling and find a way to win. At the end of the day, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish each and every week, is going out and finding a way to win. Our team is going to battle and find a way to do that.

How good of a feeling was it when you guys were kind of icing the game, especially the late run by Derrick (Henry) where you got pushed and went about 10 yards with it?

Yeah, it was awesome. I told those guys in the huddle it was going to be all about our finish right now. You’ve got to want it more than they want it. To start the drive off that way, they kind of started by a couple of yards. Derrick (Henry) kind of got stood up and then the offensive line kind of came behind him and was able to surge for five, six, seven extra yards there. So really just a cool play. Obviously energized the sideline, got everyone juiced. And then in the next set, we were going to have to get another first down. So, was just trying to channel that energy into continuing that drive and getting another first down.

On the one fumble there, what happened in that exchange there between you and Malik?

Yeah, Malik (Willis) and I weren’t clean. Tough deal there. We’ll get it cleaned up.

Beyond the toughness, Ryan, the boys today, the game was really decided by mistakes. Your counterpart made some and you really minimized yours. How much pride do you take in a game like this that’s of attrition. You guys fought through the injuries and didn’t make the mistakes beyond that one. Yeah, we preach it all the time. Just being able to handle the adversity, keep fighting, keep swinging, and take care of the ball and get the ball is one of our team keys we talk about every week. So, defense did that. They got the ball for us, got two picks, and offensively we did except for the exchange issue, and we did a solid job of taking care of it.

Ryan, you talk about the two picks, one of those went the distance, how much does that energize the team and the offense?

Oh, no doubt. Anytime the defense scores or makes any type of big play, whether it’s a sack, a strip sack, an interception and anytime they score, it only elevates that energy boost that it gives the team and the sideline. So, huge play especially as they’re getting down that field goal range there on that drive. So, at least the 10-point swing there.

Does a hard-fought win like this mean a little bit more to you guys in the locker room and it means you’ve swept a big division rival like that?

I try to enjoy each and every win, but no doubt. Beating a division opponent at home in front of our fans is something that we’re going to try to do each and every time. And when you have to battle for and earn it and it goes down to the end like that, it definitely tastes a little sweeter.

What goes on in that blue medical tent when you go in there? And, as part of it, do you have to convince them you’re OK?

They do a little evaluation and a little tape job and just trying to get right. I had a feeling when I came off, I was able to kind of walk off. I knew it wasn’t good, but I knew I was going to be able to battle through it. So, it’s just about going in there, getting evaluated and getting yourself mentally, physically ready to go out and keep at ‘em.

Will you be able to sleep through the night tonight or you have to get up and ice along the way?

Yeah, we’ll figure that out in a couple hours, but yeah, it’s going to be a long week of doing everything I can to get this thing right.

RUNNING BACK DERRICK HENRY

Derrick, on that late run where the offensive line joined in and helped push you to the first down, is that kind of symbolic of this team?

Yeah, we always talk about finishing. That’s what we preach every day. I was happy I was able to get a final push to get a little extra yardage from those guys.

How worried are you about Ryan? He misses a snap, but he comes back in and he’s in a boot, but having seen him be out there game and game again, what are your thoughts on…how worried are you about him?

Not necessarily worried because he’s a warrior. He got banged up and was able to get back out there. That’s the mentality that he has. I for sure told him that I’m going to have to send him a text early in the morning to see how he’s doing, so I hope he’s not too bad, but I think he’ll be fine. His mentality is, if he can get out there, he’s going to go.

I think he went out and came back in, Jeffrey (Simmons) did the same, Ben (Jones) did the same, it kind of speaks to maybe the overall toughness of this team?

Yeah, for sure. Those are our leaders and they’re going to do whatever they can for this team.

This team was 0-2 to start and now you’ve won four in a row. How was this team able to gather itself and feel like you’re building momentum as the season goes on?

I think we take it one week at a time – and trust and believe in our coaching and preparation in all three phases. And focus on getting better and better every day. That’s all we can do. Week by week.

You had a couple of runs today nearly be the big one that we’ve kind of been waiting to see from you, like you’ve done your whole career You feel like it’s just a matter of time before you break up the big one and get six? It’ll happen when it happens. Trust me.

You had 30 carries today and you said you like the ball in your hands no matter whether it’s rushing or receiving, that’s your kind of game right there? Getting the ball 30 times and being able to get positive yards on almost every step?

Whatever is required for us to win. I’m always wanting to do what I can to help the team win a game. That’s what was required today. It’s a tough team, good defense, just got to stay with it and finish runs and get what you can.

You mentioned the toughness of Tannehill, what can you say about the resiliency of this team despite the adversity?

Guys just battling through some things, getting back out there, contributing the best way that they can. That’s the mentality of this team, the resiliency that we try to come with every day. Come out and help. Even if we’re banged up, I think guys are going to try to do that, and you saw that today and the toughness that they have.

For a long time, this team was on the other side of this rivalry as far as how

the results were going, how good does it feel to control this rivalry right now and how important is that if you’re going to try and win this division?

They’re never going to go away. They’re a tough team. It’s always been tough battles, ever since I’ve been here playing against them. Got a lot of respect for that team over there. They play hard in all three phases. They’re a well-coached team and credit to the guys over there. They’re just locked in every time we play these guys. Play hard, finishing, and doing the things that we need to do that (is required of) us to win.

DEFENSIVE BACK ANDREW ADAMS

What were your thoughts at that point when you hand the ball in your hands?

Score, just score. I mean, you are still running, the adrenaline’s going. So, just score. I think that’s really the mindset, and don’t get caught.

Do you ever take a peek at the scoreboard to see if anybody is chasing you?

No, I was kind of peeking behind me to make sure nobody was close, and I didn’t see anybody.

As far as how the defense played today, just kind of suffocating and how this team wants to play?

I just think this past week of practice communication was great and today the communication was great. And I think that’s what it comes down to, all 11 guys being on the same page playing fast, physical, and that’s what we did today.

You and Terrance (Mitchell) both signed papers on the same day and you both had turnovers today. How nice is it to come here and get that opportunity, not only to be on the roster but get to play on the field.

Yeah, I was so happy for Mitch (Terrance Mitchell). I know how hard he works day in and day out. He’s great at punching out the ball, and for him to do that at the end of the game, it was huge. Just more power to him. So, we did come in together. I know we’ve been grinding, learning the defense, and now it’s paying off.

Do you guys kind of feel like you’re sort of like you got each other’s back because you came in the same day?

Yeah, definitely. Our lockers are right next to each other, so we talk. He plays corner, I play safety, so we are in the same room. So, I think we kind of have that and we try to push each other to be at our best every day, so I think that pays off.

What is it about this place where, you know, guys can come in, you and other guys will get out there and make plays?

Like I said before, it’s just the culture in the building. Vrabes (Mike Vrabel), the staff from top down does a great job of embracing everybody, not just Derrick Henry or Ryan Tannehill. From top to bottom they coach everybody all out. They just embrace everybody as a family. So, I think that really makes the difference in feeling wanted, and being here and being able to help the team is great.

Is that unique you think among the rest of the league? No, I mean, I feel like every team has their culture. And I just think the culture here is – I would say it is unique, honestly. I would say it is unique. It’s not everywhere. There’s other places that have a great culture. But I think here, (it) is very evident and you can see it.

DEFENSIVE TACKLE JEFFERY SIMMONS

You were able to hold Jonathan Taylor to just 58 yards on the ground. How come you were able to slow him down today?

I mean, just like the first game we heard all week that Jonathan Taylor was going to be back. But, I think the first game, collectively, they only had like what, only 48 yards? So, around here we stop the run no matter who is in the backfield. I hate to say it, if we played against Derrick Henry, that’s our mindset. Stop the run. So, the main thing, that’s our motto on defense, stop the run and we’re going to affect the quarterback once we stop the run.

He’s (Jonathan Taylor) 0-for-5 against you guys now, in the 100-yard department.

That’s what we expect, no matter if it’s Jonathan Taylor or whoever else in the NFL when we line up. Go back to that first game, that was one of our standards with Saquon (Barkley). I mean, we have gotten way better by stopping the run and we’ve talked about it. We have to get back to stopping the run around here.

In practice, you looked like you were taking this one kind of personally You seemed kind of fired up. Did this game mean a little more to you? No. You know, especially coming off the Bye Week, me as a leader, if we would have come and had just a mediocre day Monday, it would have been (on) me. I guess, I hold myself to a higher standard. When we come in off a Bye Week that’s got to always be the best week of practice. That was all our motto in the defensive room and even in the walkthroughs, ‘Let’s have energy, let’s communicate.’ It’s just not me. I always take every game personally, but also I expect matchups too. Whoever I’m lined up against, whoever it may be, I’m trying to take your head off.

You guys took (Andrew) Adams and put him on the field and were able to put Amani (Hooker) in the in the nickel, and it looked like it really was a huge difference maker for you guys.

It was it was great to have (Amani Hooker) Hook back on the field. Every time we get guys back, especially after a Bye Week like that, and when we get guys back on the field, even with Bud (Dupree), it’s always good for the team. And like I said, I told them we’ll get some shirts made. Me, Nico (Denico Autry) and Bud (Dupree). Mama there they go.

Do you feel like, when you three guys are on the field, there’s anybody that can stop you?

We don’t feel like anyone can stop us and that’s what we are trying to get everyone to see. We want to keep gaining that trust from our coaches. Coaches are saying, T (Terrell Williams) and everyone else around us, that we are able to rush the passer without doing all the extra stuff. Just let us just go get the quarterback.

KICKER RANDY BULLOCK

Making those field goals in the second half. How big was that? I think it was huge. I mean, more than anything, just getting points on each drive that we could. That last drive was huge to make it a two-score game. Got to put it out of reach. And then, of course, that turnover at the end was huge also. This Colts team, as a team that the Titans seem to dominate, and with four straight wins, you guys hold the division right now. How good is that? Yeah, it’s really special. They’re a great team. They always play us really well, and it always kind of comes down to the wire. Each week we play them, we’re going into it with that mentality.

I don’t know if you realize if you hit a mark that not many kickers are able to do, with field goals made. Were you aware of that coming in? Yeah, actually I wasn’t aware of that. I had a couple guys come over to congratulate me. That’s pretty special. Pretty cool. But I didn’t know that was a milestone that I had hit until somebody had told me that.

In a game where the team doesn’t score an offensive touchdown, how good does it feel for you when you can kind of carry the weight?

Yeah, feels great to just to go out there and do the job. Help the team win. Put points on the board. And that’s the biggest thing. Every point matters in these games.

I know there were a couple of times where you realized, well, my kick is going to make a difference, and put this game a little more out of reach. Any more pressure, or do you just kick?

To be honest, it’s one of those things where every kick matters. All these games are so tight. Every time you go out there it matters, and it’s kind of your mentality regardless. So, it’s not anything different for any other opportunity.

You start the season 0-2. How does this fourth straight win feel right now?

We’re on top of the world, and now we’re trying to get healthy and keep rolling.

CENTER BEN JONES

That one particular play Ben, pushing the pile, you looked like you were pretty fired up out there. What did that one play mean to you in particular? Yeah, we’re trying to finish the game. You want the ball in your hands, you want a victory snap at the end of the game. We take pride in that as an offensive line on a run game and we wanted to finish the game on our terms, and we did that today

I can’t ever remember seeing you quite like that? Do you recall anything being that animated after a non-touchdown play?

Yeah, I care about winning. That’s why I keep playing. I want to win a champion ship, so that’s all it takes. I’m one game at a time, and whatever it takes to win.

Ryan (Tannehill) hardly ever leaves the game so when he goes out like that how worried are you about wondering if he’ll be able to come back, he only missed the one snap?

Love the guy, he’s my brother and I know he’s one of the toughest guys on the team. A lot of quarterbacks don’t get that role. He’s that guy for us. He’s a leader. He’s a guy. We lay our hat on and we love that guy.

TIGHT END AUSTIN HOOPER

Four straight wins now since the 0-2 start, I mean, what does it say about this team to kind of bounce back from adversity?

Yeah, it’s crazy, I know that but I almost forgot because we’re just so focused on the process here, and that’s what you can do. As soon as you start smelling the roses that’s when you get taken out in this league. Vrabes (Mike Vrabel), J-Rob (Jon Robinson), coaching staff do a great job of just nose to the grindstone every single day.

What was working so well for you and (Ryan) Tannehill today?

I got open. Ryan (Tannehill) hit me. I mean, I just got more opportunities to do stuff. And Ryan (Tannehill) saw the advantageous look. Other weeks, just by the defense that they are playing, I just wasn’t in it progression-wise. So, Ryan (Tannehill) just gave me some cool opportunities to try to make the most of it.

CORNERBACK TERRANCE MITCHELL

You had a big game today How do you how do you use your momentum, and take it with the rest of the team, like feed off what they do?

I’m just here to do what I’ve got to do, play my position, do what the coaches ask me to do, and just keep working hard.

Does it feel like a bigger win, because you’ve got two over the Colts, this early in the season?

It feels good. We’ve just got to keep stacking. It’s hard to win in the NFL. We’ve just got to take it one game at a time and keep it pushing.

What did you see on that punch-out?

Any time a receiver catches the ball, they’ve got to possess it. It’s always, if you can’t get the PBU, the ball is always there and available. That’s just something I’ve been taught from a young age, and I just go for the ball. If I can get the PBU, or the pick, take the ball.

You could even tell, you were actually going for the tackle, and while you were riding him, you can see where you come and punch the ball, instinctively.

Honestly, I’ve been doing it for the last couple of years. Well, my whole career. Like last year, I had about three or four of them. And it’s just a thing that I like to do to add to my game. Like I said, if I can’t get the pick or the pass break up, that’s the last option right there.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN 2022

The Titans have had a winning record each season since 2016, when general manager Jon Robinson arrived in Tennessee. The Titans went 9-7 each year from 2016 to 2019, achieved an 11-5 finish in 2020, and then earned a 12-5 mark in 2021. A seventh consecutive season above .500 would tie the franchise's all-time best streak. The only previous stretch in which the club achieved seven straight winning records was 1987 to 1993.

The Titans can earn their fourth consecutive playoff berth. It would be the organization’s first time doing so since a franchise-record seven consecutive playoff appearances from 1987 to 1993.

The Titans can earn their third consecutive division title. The only other three-year streak of division titles in franchise annals was when the Oilers won the AFL Eastern division each season from 1960 to 1962.

¾ A third consecutive season with 11 or more wins would mark the first time in franchise history the team has accomplished such a streak.

¾

The Titans can log their fourth consecutive season with at least five road victories, which would be the longest such streak in franchise history (1978–1980 and 1998–2000).

Entering 2022 with a record of 107-78 in regular season games at Nissan Stadium, the Titans need six wins at home to match the 113 wins the franchise had in regular season contests at the Astrodome (113-1032). Seven home wins would give the franchise more victories at Nissan Stadium (114) than any other single venue.

¾ Can join Mike Holovak (1989–1993) as the only two general managers in franchise history to oversee five or more playoff seasons.

HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL

¾ With a winning record in 2022, Mike Vrabel would become the only head coach in franchise history to begin his tenure with at least five consecutive winning seasons. Vrabel and Jack Pardee are the organization's only head coaches with as many as three such seasons to begin their tenures.

¾ Can join Jeff Fisher (six) and Jack Pardee (four) as the only head coaches to lead the franchise to at least four playoff appearances.

¾ Needs three interceptions in 2022 to tie Mike Reinfeldt (26) for seventh all-time for the franchise and pass Michael Griffin (25) for the most interceptions for the franchise in its "Titans era" (1999–present).

¾ Can lead the team in interceptions for the fifth time, which would tie Darryll Lewis' franchise record (1994-98).

¾ Can become the first player to lead the team in tackles for three consecutive seasons since Keith Bulluck (2002-06).

RB DERRICK HENRY

¾ Needs 2,000 rushing yards to become the first player in NFL history to reach the mark in two different seasons.

¾ Needs 1,500 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns to become the first player in NFL history to reach both marks in three different seasons.

¾ Needs a pair of 200-yard rushing games to give him seven for his career, which would set the NFL record. He would surpass O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson, who each have six such performances.

¾ With 65 career rushing touchdowns entering 2022, he needs nine rushing touchdowns in 2022 to break Earl Campbell's career franchise record of 73 rushing touchdowns.

¾ With 68 total career touchdowns entering 2022, he needs seven touchdowns to break Eddie George's career franchise record of 74 total touchdowns.

¾ Entering the season with 6,797 career rushing yards, he will pass Chris Johnson (7,965) for third place on the franchise's all-time career

rushing list with 1,169 rushing yards in 2022.

¾ Needs 10 rushing touchdowns in 2022 to become the fifth running back in NFL history to reach the mark in five consecutive seasons, joining LaDainian Tomlinson (nine), Adrian Peterson (seven), Shaun Alexander (five) and Michael Turner (five).

Jon Robinson was hired as Titans general manager on Jan. 14, 2016 after spending two years as director of player personnel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nearly one year later, on Jan. 5, 2017, he was promoted to executive vice president/general manager.

The Titans finished with a winning record in each of his first six seasons on the job. They had four consecutive 9-7 records from 2016 to 2019, followed by an 11-5 mark in 2020 and a 12-5 record in 2021. It was the first time the organization produced at least six consecutive winning seasons since a seven-year run of winning records from 1987–1993. The Titans and Kansas City Chiefs were the only NFL teams without a losing season from 2016 to 2021.

Robinson became the first general manager in franchise history with six seasons above the .500 mark, surpassing Bum Phillips (1975, 1977–1980) and Mike Holovak (1989-93). Robinson's winning records from 2016 to 2021 also eclipsed Holovak for the most consecutive winning seasons by a Titans/Oilers general manager.

The Titans went to the playoffs four times in Robinson's first six seasons with the club: 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The four playoff appearances tied for the third-most in the league during that time, and only Kansas City (six) and the New England Patriots (five) had more. Robinson's four playoff campaigns already place him in the top three in team annals along with Holovak (five) and Floyd Reese (four).

Robinson's work helped the team go from three wins in the season prior to his arrival (2015) to a divisional round playoff finish following the 2017 campaign. He became the fifth general manager in franchise history to have the team in the playoffs within his first two full seasons.

Then, in 2019, the team he constructed advanced to the AFC championship game. It was the organization's first appearance in the conference title game in 17 seasons (2002).

In 2020, Robinson and the Titans clinched the 2020 AFC South title with an 11-5 record in the regular season, claiming their best record and first division title since going 13-3 in 2008. They did so while navigating the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, the Titans won their second consecutive AFC South crown with a 12-5 mark, celebrating the franchise's first back-to-back division championships since the Oilers took the first three AFL Eastern division titles from 1960 to 1962.

Robinson has overseen a nearly complete overhaul of the roster during his tenure. In seven drafts as general manager from 2016 to 2022, he selected 52 total players, and 27 of those players were still with the organization prior to the 2022 regular season (as of Sept. 4, 2022). The only member of the roster who predated Robinson at that time was tackle Taylor Lewan. During that same time period, he engineered 33 total trades.

2022: After the NFL's new league year began in March 2022, Robinson engineered a trade with the Rams to acquire veteran wide receiver Robert Woods, who totaled 570 receptions for 7,077 yards in nine previous seasons in Buffalo and Los Angeles.

Robinson then went to work in the free agent market, highlighted by the addition of two-time Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper, who played his first four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons before spending a pair of campaigns with the Cleveland Browns.

The Titans also were active in re-signing several of their own key free agents, including center Ben Jones and Pro Bowl outside linebacker Harold Landry III

During the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Titans acquired the 18th overall selection and an additional third-rounder from Philadelphia in a trade that sent wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles. With the 18th pick, Robinson and the Titans grabbed Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks

Robinson would execute two more trades during the draft to end up with nine total players, including Auburn cornerback Roger McCreary in the second round.

2021: In 2021, the Titans struck several deals with veterans in the initial days of free agency. The incoming players included Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebackers Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi, New Orleans Saints cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins, Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Denico Autry and Baltimore Ravens long snapper Morgan Cox. The Titans also re-signed several of their own free agents: tight ends Anthony Firkser and Geoff Swaim and inside linebacker Jayon Brown

Autry proved to be a key addition for the defense. He appeared in every game in his first season with the club and finished second on the team with nine sacks. His sack total tied his career high, matching the nine sacks he had in 2018 as a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

During the 2021 NFL Draft, Robinson led the selection of eight total players, beginning with Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley with the 22nd overall selection in the first round. In the second round, the Titans chose North Dakota State offfensive lineman Dillon Radunz, followed by Georgia linebacker Monty Rice and Washington defensive back Elijah Molden in Round 3.

Late in the 2021 campaign, Robinson claimed inside linebacker Zach Cunningham off waivers from the division rival Houston Texans. Over three seasons from 2019 to 2021, Cunningham's 392 total tackles were more than every NFL player other than Seattle's Bobby Wagner (467) and Chicago's Roquan Smith (402).

2020: Early in 2020, the Titans reached an agreement on a multi-year contract to keep quarterback Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee. The Titans also re-signed tackle Dennis Kelly, who would go on to start all 16 games at right tackle.

After initially placing the franchise tag on running back Derrick Henry, the Titans and Henry were able to come to an agreement on a multi-year contract extension in July 2020.

Robinson acquired Tannehill for the Titans in a 2019 trade with the Miami Dolphins. In his first three seasons in Tennessee, Tannehill built a 3013 record as a starting quarterback and became the franchise's first starting quarterback since Warren Moon (1987 to 1993) to direct his team to the playoffs in at least three consecutive seasons. He started every game from Week 7 of the 2019 campaign through the end of 2021, and during that time, Tannehill's 102.3 passer rating ranked sixth in the NFL. He became the only quarterback other than Moon (1989–1991) to record multiple seasons with at least 3,500 passing yards with the franchise. Also, Tannehill's 13 total game-winning drives in that span ranked second in the NFL behind only Raiders quarterback Derek Carr's 14. In 2019, Tannehill was named to his first Pro Bowl earned the 2019 Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year Award.

After securing his multi-year extension in 2020, Henry produced one of the greatest seasons in NFL history by a running back. He led the NFL in rushing for the second consecutive season with 2,027 rushing yards, which was only the eighth 2,000-yard rushing season in league annals, and also paced the league with 17 rushing touchdowns. He was recognized with the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year Award.

Henry, a second-round pick by Robinson in 2016, led the Titans in rushing every season from 2017 through 2021, during which time he also led the NFL with 6,307 total rushing yards. In 2019, he won his first of two consecutive NFL rushing crowns with 1,540 yards and tied for the NFL lead with 16 rushing touchdowns.

In the 2020 NFL Draft, the Titans had six total picks, including Louisiana State cornerback Kristian Fulton in the second round (61st overall). Fulton emerged as a full-time starter in 2021 and tied for 11th place in the NFL with a team-high 14 passes defensed.

2019: Near the beginning of the 2019 free agent signing period, Robinson worked quickly to add several veterans from other teams who played key roles, including Tannehill and former Rams guard Rodger Saffold Robinson also worked to re-sign safety Kenny Vaccaro and punter Brett Kern

Then, in the 2019 NFL Draft, Robinson directed the selection of six total players, including Mississippi State defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons in the first round (19th overall), Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown in the second round (51st overall) and Charlotte offensive lineman Nate Davis in the third round (82nd overall).

In his first three seasons, Brown led the Titans in every major receiving category, totaling 185 receptions, 2,995 receiving yards, a 16.2-yard receiving average and 24 touchdown catches. Since 1970, Brown was only the fourth NFL player to reach all of those numbers within his first three seasons, joining Randy Moss, Jerry Rice and John Jefferson. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020 after totaling 70 receptions for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Simmons was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 and added Associated Press second-team All-Pro honors. He ranked sixth in the NFL among defensive tackles with 8.5 sacks, and he set a franchise single-game postseason record with three sacks.

Saffold also earned his first career Pro Bowl berth in 2021, the third consecutive season since he arrived in Tennessee in which the team finished in the top five in rushing.

2018: The Titans' 2018 free agent class included Pro Bowl cornerback Malcolm Butler. In his three seasons in Tennessee, Butler played in 41 games (36 starts) and totaled nine interceptions. In early August 2018, the Titans signed Vaccaro, who went on to start 42 games over his three seasons with the club.

Robinson's 2018 draft class was comprised of four players after he used multiple trades to go up and get his targets. It included first-round linebacker Rashaan Evans from Alabama (22nd overall pick) and secondround outside linebacker Harold Landry III from Boston College (41st overall).

From the start of his rookie season through 2021, Landry's 31 total sacks led the Titans, and other than Jevon Kearse (37), it was the highest total by a Titans/Oilers player in his first four NFL seasons since individual sacks became an official NFL statistic in 1982. In 2021, Landry was named to his first Pro Bowl after his career-high 12 sacks ranked 10th in the NFL.

2017: During the 2017 offseason, Robinson used free agency to address needs on defense and special teams. Most notably, he spearheaded deals for cornerback Logan Ryan (New England) and special teams contributor and 2017 Pro Bowler Brynden Trawick (Oakland).

In the 2017 NFL Draft, Robinson spent first-round picks on wide receiver Corey Davis (fifth overall) and cornerback Adoree' Jackson (18th overall). It marked the first time the franchise had a pair of first-round draft selections since 1987. The Titans' 2017 draft haul also featured tight end Jonnu Smith in the third round and linebacker Jayon Brown in the fifth round.

The 2017 Titans advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Robinson became the fifth general manager in franchise history to have the team in the postseason within his first two full seasons.

2016: In his first year as an NFL general manager, Robinson's leadership and decision-making helped the Titans triple their win total from the previous season, finishing 9-7 in 2016 after a 3-13 finish in 2015. The sixwin improvement tied for the most in franchise history (1967 and 1974) and doubled the previous club benchmark for the most wins in the first year under a new general manager (three by Bum Phillips in 1975).

Within the first four months at his post, Robinson pulled the trigger on several key personnel decisions. On March 9, 2016, he made his first major acquisition, swapping fourth-round draft picks with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for running back DeMarco Murray. The trade provided major dividends in 2016, as Murray led the AFC and ranked third in the NFL with 1,287 rushing yards.

Around the same time, Robinson began to work the free agent market. Center Ben Jones and wide receiver Rishard Matthews highlighted the haul, and both were instrumental in helping to transform the Titans offense into the 11th-ranked unit in the NFL.

Jones became a foundational member of the offensive line. From 2016 to 2021, he was one of only eight offensive lineman to start at least 96 of a possible 97 games. He finished the 2021 campaign with an active streak of 40 consecutive starts, ranking third among centers.

On April 14, 2016, two weeks before the NFL Draft, Robinson and the Titans dealt the first overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams in one of the biggest trades in recent NFL history. The Titans gave up the No. 1 pick and a fourth-rounder in order to receive the 15th overall pick, two secondrounders and a third-rounder in 2016, plus the Rams’ first- and third-round picks in 2017. From 1990–2015, there were seven trades involving the No. 1 overall pick, but this was the first since 2004, when the San Diego Chargers selected Eli Manning with the first pick and dealt his rights to the New York Giants.

The Titans had their hands at one point or another on 17 selections in the 2016 draft due to five different trades (including one trade in 2015), and in the end, they ended up with a class of 10 players, including four of the top 45 picks. Robinson swung a draft-day trade with the Cleveland Browns to move back up to the eighth slot to choose Michigan State tackle Jack Conklin

All 10 members of Robinson's first draft class played in at least one game in 2016. They accumulated a total of 110 games played and 38 starts, including 16 starts at right tackle by Conklin. The eighth-overall pick capped his successful rookie campaign by being named first-team All-Pro by Associated Press.

Third-round safety Kevin Byard has become one of the most successful players at his position in franchise history. He finished the 2021 campaign as a three-time team captain, two-time Pro Bowl selection and a two-time Associated Press first-team All-Pro. Over a five-year period from 2017 through 2021, Byard led all NFL safeties and ranked third in the NFL with 23 interceptions. His career interception total was 11th on the franchise's all-time list and sixth among all Titans/Oilers safeties.

PRIOR HISTORY: Robinson arrived in Tennessee with a wide range of experience from working his way up on the personnel side of the NFL. From 2014–2015, he served as director of player personnel for the Buccaneers and oversaw both college and pro departments as the team rebuilt its roster. The 2015 Buccaneers draft class made a significant impact, including four rookie starters: quarterback Jameis Winston, tackle Donovan Smith, guard Ali Marpet and linebacker Kwon Alexander

Prior to joining Tampa Bay, Robinson spent 12 years with the New England Patriots, including his last five years (2009-13) as the director of college scouting. In the five years heading up their college scouting, the Patriots added a number of key components to their roster that won the Super Bowl in 2014, including wide receiver Julian Edelman, defensive back Devin McCourty, tight end Rob Gronkowski, tackle Nate Solder and defensive end Chandler Jones. He joined the Patriots as an area scout in 2002, a role he served for four seasons. Robinson then spent two years (2006-07) as a regional scout, before being promoted to assistant director of college scouting in 2008 and then director of college scouting in 2009. In his time scouting for the Patriots the team won 10 division titles, four conference titles and two Super Bowls (2003, 2004).

Video: Igniting the Fire - Who is Mike Vrabel?

Mike Vrabel was named head coach of the Titans on Jan. 20, 2018, becoming the 19th head coach in franchise history.

In his first four seasons as head coach, Vrabel led the Titans to a 43-27 overall record and three postseason appearances. He joined Jack Pardee and Jerry Glanville as the only head coaches in team annals to preside over at least three playoff squads in their initial four seasons as head coach, and he tied Pardee (43-26) for the most total wins by a head coach in his first four seasons with the organization. The Titans won back-to-back AFC South titles in 2020 and 2021, marking the first time the organization accomplished the feat since the Oilers won the first three AFL Eastern division titles from 1960 to 1962.

Vrabel Honored as NFL's Top Coach in 2021

Vrabel was named the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year in 2021 after directing the Titans to a 12-5 record during the regular season. The Titans won the AFC South, and they claimed the top seed in the AFC playoff field for the first time since 2008. They did so despite needing to use 91 total players during the season—the most in NFL history in a non-strike year. After the final preseason roster cuts through the end of the season, the team placed 26 different players on injured reserve and 21 different players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, plus additional practice squad players that received those designations.

The 2021 Titans ranked second in rushing defense (84.6 yards allowed per game), 12th in total defense (329.8), sixth on third down (36.7 percent), sixth in scoring defense (20.8 points per game) and ninth in sacks (43). Offensively, the Titans finished fifth in rushing (141.4 yards per game) despite missing Derrick Henry for nine games due to injury. The offense

also ranked eighth on third down (43.6 percent), fifth in the red zone (63.9 percent) and first in goal-to-go efficiency (87.5 percent).

Situationally, Vrabel's teams fared well among the NFL leaders in his first four seasons as head coach. From 2018 to 2021, their .909 winning percentage (40-4) in regular season games in which they had a fourthquarter lead ranked second in the NFL behind the New Orleans Saints (.939). In the same time period, the Titans had a .714 winning percentage in three-point games (15-6), which led the league. Vrabel's team was 5-1 in overtime games from 2018 through 2021, tying the Saints (5-1) for the most overtime wins.

From 2018 to 2021, the Titans had the NFL's second-best rushing offense, averaging 143.7 rushing yards per game. Only the Baltimore Ravens were better (173.6). On the other side of the ball, the Titans ranked seventh in rushing defense, allowing 106.2 rushing yards per contest. Also from 2018 to 2021, the Titans tied for eighth in scoring defense (22.0 opponent points per game) and tied for the eighth-best turnover margin (+13). The Titans were called for 370 penalties from 2018 through 2021, which was the sixth-fewest total in the NFL.

Titans Take the AFC South in Year 3 Under Vrabel

The Titans won the 2020 AFC South title with an 11-5 record in the regular season, claiming their best record and first division title since going 13-3 in 2008. They finished with a 5-1 record within the division and a 6-2 mark in road games, all while navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Titans led the NFL in 2020 with a plus-11 turnover differential. Their 23 takeaways ranked seventh in the NFL, while their 12 turnovers were the second-fewest in the league in 2020 and tied for the ninth-lowest number since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.

In 2020, the Titans tied for second place in total offense (396.4 yards per game) and ranked fourth in scoring offense (30.7 points per game). They became the first team in NFL history to generate at least 2,500 rushing yards (2,690) and 3,500 net passing yards (3,653) while surrendering 25 or fewer sacks (25). Their 6,343 total yards and 381 first downs established franchise records, while their 491 points amounted to the organization's second-best total.

The 2020 Titans joined the 1997 Detroit Lions as the only teams in NFL history to feature a 2,000-yard rusher, a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard receiver. Henry led the NFL in rushing for the second consecutive season, and his 2,027 rushing yards gave him the fifth-best total in league history. Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill passed for 3,819 yards, and his 106.5 passer rating was the fifth-best number in the NFL. A.J. Brown was named to the Pro Bowl after recording his second consecutive 1,000-yard season (1,075) and tying for fifth place in the NFL with 11 touchdown catches.

Titans to AFC Championship Game in Vrabel's Second Season

In 2019, Vrabel became the first head coach in the organization's history to win multiple playoff games within his first two seasons. The Titans won a pair of road games—at New England in the wild card round and at Baltimore in the divisional round—to advance to the 2019 AFC championship game, falling at Kansas City to the eventual Super Bowl champion Chiefs.

The Titans began the 2019 campaign with two wins in their first six games but rallied to win seven of their final 10 games in the regular season. From the time the NFL went to its current playoff format in 1990 through 2019, 345 teams went 2-4 or worse in their first six games of a season. From that group, the Titans became only the third team to advance to a conference championship game, joining the 2002 Titans (2-4) and the 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars (2-4).

The 2019 Titans ranked in the NFL's top 10 in scoring margin (eighth, +71), turnover margin (sixth, +6), offensive yards per play (fourth, 6.12), rushing offense (third, 138.9 yards per game), red zone efficiency (first, 75.6 percent), total touchdowns (tied for third, 54) and third-down defense (eighth, 36.3 percent).

In his first season as head coach, Vrabel directed the Titans to a 9-7 record. His nine wins tied for the fourth-highest total in franchise history by a first-year head coach.

With only 82 penalties enforced against the Titans in 2018, Vrabel's team led the NFL and set a franchise record (16-game season) for fewest penalties in a season. The 2018 Titans also placed third in points allowed (18.9 per game), eighth in total defense (333.4 yards per game), sixth in passing defense (216.9), second in red zone defense (44.7 percent

sacks in a season with 45 - 22.5 coming from Vrabel’s linebacking corps.

Prior to joining the NFL coaching ranks, Vrabel transitioned immediately from an NFL player to college coach. He started as the linebacker coach at Ohio State in 2011 and coached the defensive line from 2012–2013. The 2012 Buckeyes finished the season undefeated at 12-0. He also was named Big Ten Recruiter of the Year by ESPN.com in 2012.

Vrabel was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round (91st overall) of the 1997 NFL Draft, after his playing career at Ohio State, where he earned All-America honors and Big Ten Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year in both 1995 and 1996.

A native of Akron, Ohio, Vrabel attended Walsh Jesuit High School. He and his wife, Jennifer, have two sons: Tyler and Carter.

MOST WINS IN FIRST FOUR SEASONS

When the Titans defeated the Houston Texans on Jan. 9, 2022, Mike Vrabel won his 43rd game, including postseason, since taking over as Titans head coach in 2018. In doing so, he tied Jack Pardee for the most total wins by a head coach in his first four seasons with the organization. In Pardee’s first four seasons as head coach from 1990 through 1993, the Oilers were 43-26, including playoffs.

Vrabel, Pardee and Jerry Glanville (1986–1989) are the only head coaches in team annals to preside over at least three playoff squads in their initial four seasons. All three of Pardee’s first four teams made the postseason, while Glanville’s Oilers advanced to the postseason in his second, third and fourth years.

Of all Titans/Oilers head coaches with at least four seasons with the franchise, Vrabel’s career winning percentage ranks the highest.

Background as a Player and Coach

Vrabel arrived in Tennessee with 18 years of NFL experience, including four seasons as a coach and 14 seasons as a player. His distinguished playing career included three Super Bowl wins (2001, 2003 and 2004), one Pro Bowl selection (2007) and an All-Pro honor (2007). Vrabel played in 206 NFL games and totaled 57 sacks, 496 tackles, 11 interceptions, 20 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and 10 touchdown receptions. Additionally, his teams advanced to the playoffs eight times (20 postseason games), with Vrabel recording eight postseason sacks and two postseason touchdown receptions.

Vrabel joined the Titans after four seasons with the Houston Texans, spending the first three seasons (2014-16) coaching linebackers and one year (2017) as the team’s defensive coordinator. During his time in Houston, the Texans built one of the best defenses in the NFL and experienced tremendous success as a team – earning two division titles (2015, 2016).

Between 2014-16, the Texans defense ranked third in the NFL in yards allowed per game (319.9) and net passing yards (218.4). Houston also ranked first in third-down defense (33.6), fourth in opponent completion percentage (59.5) and sixth in points allowed per game (19.8). The 2016 defense ranked number one in the NFL, for the first time in franchise history, in yards allowed (301.3).

In 2017, his first year as a defensive coordinator, the Texans finished the campaign with 19 players on injured reserve. Despite the injuries, Vrabel led the defense to the fifth-best third-down percentage in the NFL and a franchise-record 3.97 yards per carry by opponents. Houston also had 18 different players record at least half a sack last year and 26 players tally at least one tackle for loss.

Vrabel spent his career playing and coaching with accomplished leaders, including Bill Belichick, Bill Cowher, Romeo Crennel, Urban Meyer, Bill O’Brien and Todd Haley

As the Texans linebackers coach from 2014-16, Vrabel developed several players into top-notch performers, including Jadeveon Clowney (Pro Bowl, 2016), Whitney Mercilus, Benardrick McKinney (secondteam All-Pro, 2016) and Brian Cushing. The 2015 Texans defense had the top third-down defense in the NFL (28.5 percent), which was the lowest percentage in franchise history and the lowest by any NFL team since the 2003 Titans (27.7 percent). The 2015 defense also set a franchise mark for

The offense also ranked eighth on third down (43.6 percent), fifth in the red zone (63.9 percent) and first in goal-to-go efficiency (87.5 percent).

NISSAN STADIUM

In 2015, the Titans and Nissan North America announced the formation of a 20-year, exclusive namingrights partnership that rebranded Nashville’s downtown stadium as Nissan Stadium.

Nissan Stadium hosts all Titans home football games, Tennessee State University football games, the Music City Bowl, the CMA Music Festival and numerous other events.

The procurement of naming rights to Nissan Stadium fit the automotive company’s ‘Fewer, Bigger, Better’ marketing strategy, which has included ongoing sponsorships of NBC’s ‘The Voice,’ the Heisman House college football program and a major advertising presence in this year’s Super Bowl. Nissan is also now the official automotive partner of the Tennessee Titans.

Nissan’s ever-growing footprint in Tennessee includes vehicle and powertrain manufacturing facilities in Smyrna and Decherd respectively, along with its North American headquarters in Franklin.

The Nissan Smyrna Plant began operations in 1983 and employs more than 8,400 people. In 2014, the Smyrna plant assembled more than 648,000 vehicles, making it the highest volume automotive assembly plant in North America. Nissan also has a major manufacturing presence in Canton, Miss., along with research and development groups in California, Arizona and Michigan. In total, the company employs more than 22,000 employees in the U.S.

One component of the Titans-Nissan partnership is assisting charitable organizations throughout Middle Tennessee in an array of community outreach programs. A centerpiece of this is the annual “Taste of Titans” charitable event, for which Nissan serves as presenting sponsor. During the course of a 20-year relationship, a total of more than $1 million resulting from these annual events is anticipated to be distributed to local non-profit organizations.

Nissan Stadium is a city-owned venue that has housed the Titans since 1999. The naming rights agreement includes the opportunity for Nissan branding on the exterior of the stadium, as well as stadium signage and other unique displays inside the stadium. LP Building Products held the naming rights to the stadium from 2006 until the Nissan partnership was established in 2015.

THIRD-DOWN DEFENSE SINCE 2021

The Titans have fielded one of the NFL's best third-down defenses since the start of the 2021 season.

They concluded 2021 ranked sixth on third down, allowing opponents to convert on 77 of their 210 chances for a rate of 36.7 percent. Over the final month of the 2021 campaign (Weeks 15-18), the Titans ranked third in the NFL by allowing opponents to convert only 28.6 percent on third down (12 of 42). Only the Buffalo Bills (20.8) and Las Vegas Raiders (26.4) fared better in that span.

The Titans again have one of the top third-down defenses in 2022.

TITANS QUARTERBACKS

Originally a first-round selection (eighth overall) by the Miami Dolphins in the 2012 NFL Draft, Tannehill was acquired by the Titans in a trade with the Dolphins on March 15, 2019. The Titans sent a 2019 seventh-round pick and a 2020 fourth-round selection to Miami in exchange for Tannehill and a 2019 sixth-rounder.

Over his seven seasons in Miami, he started 88 games, threw for 20,434 yards and 123 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,210 yards and six scores. When he left Miami, he ranked second in franchise history behind Chad Pennington in both career completion percentage (62.8) and career passer rating (87.0). He authored 13 game-winning drives for the Dolphins.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is in his 11th NFL season and his fourth campaign with the Titans in 2021.

In his first three seasons in Tennessee, Tannehill built a 30-13 record as a starting quarterback and led the team to the postseason three times, becoming the franchise's first starting quarterback since Warren Moon (1987 to 1993) to direct his team to the playoffs in at least three consecutive seasons. After appearing in the AFC championship game as a wild card team in 2019, the Titans won consecutive division titles in 2020 and 2021, a first for the franchise since the Oilers took the first three AFL Eastern Division titles from 1960 to 1962. Tannehill's 30 wins were the most by any starting quarterback in franchise history in the player's first three seasons with the organization, surpassing the 28 by George Blanda from 1960 to 1962.

Tannehill started every game from Week 7 of the 2019 campaign through the end of 2021. His 43 consecutive starts in the regular season tied Steve McNair (2001-03) for the most in franchise history by a starting quarterback. During that time, Tannehill's 102.3 passer rating ranked sixth in the NFL. Also, Tannehill's 13 total game-winning drives in that span ranked second in the NFL behind only Raiders quarterback Derek Carr's 14.

In 2021, he placed third on the franchise's single-season passing charts in attempts (531), completions (357) and completion percentage (67.2), and he ranked fourth with 3,734 passing yards. He became the only quarterback other than Moon (1989–1991) to record multiple seasons with at least 3,500 passing yards with the franchise. Additionally, he rushed for 270 yards, and his seven rushing touchdowns ranked second among NFL signal callers behind Jalen Hurts' 10. Tannehill was the first quarterback in franchise annals with at least seven rushing touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.

After receiving a multi-year contract extension during the 2020 offseason, Tannehill responded with 16 starts for the first time since 2015 and produced one of the best seasons of any quarterback in franchise history. A Titans team captain for the first time, his statistics finished in the top five of several of the organization's single-season record lists, including 40 total touchdowns (first), a 106.5 passer rating (second), 3,819 passing yards (third), 33 touchdown passes (tied for second), 65.5 completion percentage (fourth) and 7.9 yards per attempt (tied for fifth). Tannehill became the fourth player in NFL history with a passer rating of at least 106.0 in consecutive seasons, joining Drew Brees (2018-20), Russell Wilson (2018-19) and Aaron Rodgers (2011-12).

Also in 2020, Tannehill and Buffalo's Josh Allen became the fourth and fifth quarterbacks in NFL history with at least 3,800 passing yards, 33 passing touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns in the same season. Only Cam Newton (2015), Daunte Culpepper (2000) and Steve Young (1994) had done so previously.

In 2019, Tannehill set single-season franchise records and led the NFL with a 117.5 passer rating and a passing average of 9.6 yards per attempt. His passer rating was the fourth-highest figure in NFL history among qualifiers. Additionally, he set a club record and placed third in the NFL with a 70.3 completion percentage.

Tannehill was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December 2019 and was named to his first career Pro Bowl. He also won the Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year Award.

From 2012 through 2015, Tannehill's passing yardage total—15,460 yards—was the third highest mark in NFL history for a player's first four seasons, behind only Peyton Manning and Dan Marino. Tannehill’s two 4,000-yard passing seasons (2015 and 2014) were the only ones recorded by a Dolphins quarterback other than Marino (six times). The Dolphins reached the playoffs in 2016, breaking an eight-year postseason drought.

A native of Big Spring, Texas, Tannehill attended Texas A&M, where he earned honorable mention All-America honors as a senior. He played both quarterback and wide receiver, passing for 5,450 yards and 42 touchdowns and adding 112 receptions for 1,596 yards and 10 scores.

QB WINS, FIRST THREE SEASONS

In leading the Titans to a 12-5 record during the 2021 regular season, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill improved to 30-13 as a starter since he was traded from the Dolphins to the Titans in 2019. He started every game from Week 7 of his initial season in Tennessee through the 2021 finale.

Tannehill is off to one of the best beginnings to any quarterback’s tenure in franchise history. He has more regular season wins—30—than any other starting signal caller in franchise history over the player’s first three years with the club, surpassing George Blanda, who won 28 regular season starts for the Oilers from 1960 to 1962.

Tannehill moved past Marcus Mariota (29 wins) and into a tie with Vince Young (30) for fifth place on the team’s all-time wins list for starting quarterbacks. He trails only Steve McNair (76), Warren Moon (70), Dan Pastorini (53) and Blanda (44).

RUSHING EFFICIENCY AMONG QBs

Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s ability to rush efficiently has reaped benefits since he arrived in Tennessee. From 2019 through 2021, he had 69 first downs on 106 total non-kneel-down rushing attempts, and in that time period, his 65.1 percent conversion rate was the best in the league among signal callers with 50 such attempts.

Tannehill also ranked third in the NFL from 2019 through 2021 with 18 rushing touchdowns. Only Josh Allen (23) and Kyler Murray (20) had more.

LEADING VETERAN QBS ON NEW TEAMS

In 2019, Ryan Tannehill set a new standard for veteran quarterbacks in their first year with a new team. Tannehill, who was acquired in a trade after seven years with the Miami Dolphins, had a passer rating of 117.5. No quarterback has ever finished with a passer rating that high in his first season with a new team after playing at least one year with another team. Brett Favre held the distinction until 2019. In 2009, Favre’s 107.2 passer rating with the Minnesota Vikings became the best figure in league annals by a veteran in his first campaign with a new club.

Running back Derrick Henry is in his seventh NFL season in 2022. He was selected by the Titans with the 45th overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

From his rookie season through 2021, Henry ranked second in the NFL with 6,797 rushing yards, trailing only Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (7,386). Henry's 65 rushing touchdowns led the league over the same period. In franchise history, Henry finished 2021 ranked fourth in career rushing yards behind Eddie George (10,009), Earl Campbell (8,574) and Chris Johnson (7,965), and his rushing touchdowns were second behind only Campbell (73).

In 2021, Henry's season was affected by a foot injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve for the final nine games of the regular season. Prior to the injury, he was leading the NFL with 937 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, numbers that still ranked ninth and tied for sixth, respectively, at the conclusion of the regular season. He returned to start in the team's divisional playoff contest and rushed for 62 yards and one score.

Henry was honored in 2021 with his first career nomination for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

In 2020, Henry was named the Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year after an historic campaign in which he totaled 378 rushing attempts for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns. His rushing yardage total established a new franchise record and led the NFL. As the eighth player in NFL annals to hit the 2,000-yard mark, his 2,027 yards finished fifth on the all-time single-season rushing charts. He was recognized with his second consecutive Pro Bowl, named first-team Associated Press All-Pro, and won the FedEx Ground Player of the Year Award for the second consecutive year.

Henry was a first-time team captain in 2020. He started all 16 regular season games for the first time and became the first player since LaDainian Tomlinson (2006-07) to lead the NFL in rushing yards in consecutive years. He was the first player in more than 50 years to lead the league in rushing yards, attempts and rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons and the fifth player ever to do so. The most recent prior to him was Cleveland’s Leroy Kelly from 1967 to 1968.

Henry's 17 rushing touchdowns in 2020 set a career high and finished as the second-best total in franchise history behind Campbell’s 19 rushing touchdowns in 1979.

In 2019, Henry was named to his first Pro Bowl and added secondteam Associated Press All-Pro honors after leading the NFL in rushing. In 15 games, he totaled 1,540 yards on 303 carries (5.1 avg.), joining Billy Cannon (AFL, 1961), Campbell (1978-80) and Johnson (2009) as the only running backs in franchise history to lead their respective leagues in rushing. At the time, Henry's single-season total ranked fourth in franchise annals behind Johnson's 2009 total (2,006) and Campbell's 1979 (1,697) and 1980 (1,934) performances.

With 16 rushing touchdowns in 2019, Henry tied for the NFL lead (Aaron Jones). Adding his two receiving touchdowns, his 18 total touchdowns were third in the NFL and tied for second in franchise annals (19 by Campbell in 1979; 18 by Bill Groman in 1961).

Henry's performance late in the 2019 season was instrumental in the

team's run to the AFC championship game. Over the final six games of the regular season plus three playoff appearances, Henry registered seven 100-yard games. During a three-game stretch (Dec. 29 at Houston, Jan. 4 at New England and Jan. 11 at Baltimore), he became the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 180 yards in three consecutive regular season and/or postseason games.

Henry authored his first career 1,000-yard season in 2018 and the 28th 1,000-yard rushing season in franchise history, totaling 1,059 yards and 12 touchdowns on 215 carries—all then-career highs.

His 2018 rushing yardage ranked second in the AFC to Joe Mixon’s 1,168 yards, and he finished seventh in the NFL. Henry’s 12 rushing touchdowns tied James Connor for third place in the NFL behind Todd Gurley (17) and Alvin Kamara (14).

Henry was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December 2018. His 625 rushing yards in the month were the most by any NFL player in any month during the season.

Against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 6, 2018, Henry recorded one of the greatest single games in franchise history in front of a national television audience. He broke Johnson's single-game franchise record (228) with 238 rushing yards, including a 99-yard touchdown run—one of his four touchdowns in the contest. He joined Tony Dorsett as the only two players in NFL history to rush for a 99-yard score.

In 2017, Henry shared time in the Titans backfield with DeMarco Murray. Henry led the team with 744 rushing yards on 176 carries, and he added 11 receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown. His five rushing touchdowns tied for second on the club.

As a rookie in 2016, Henry played in 15 games with one start, splitting reps in the backfield with Murray. He carried the ball 110 times for 490 yards and five touchdowns and added 137 yards on 13 receptions. Henry became the third rookie for the franchise in the “Titans era” to score at least five touchdowns in a season, joining Vince Young (seven rushing touchdowns in 2006) and Johnson (nine rushing and one receiving in 2008).

The Heisman Trophy winner played three seasons (2013–2015) at the University of Alabama, where he set numerous school and SEC records while helping his team win a National Championship in 2015. He played in 39 games and totaled 602 carries for 3,591 yards and 42 rushing touchdowns and added 285 yards on 17 career receptions with three receiving scores. During Alabama’s victory over Clemson in the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship, he broke Shaun Alexander’s record for most career rushing yards in Alabama history.

In his final collegiate season, Henry rushed for an Alabama and Southeastern Conference record 2,219 yards, which led the nation and ranked fifth in FBS history. He recorded 100-yard rushing games 10 times and had four 200-yard games during the season. His 28 rushing touchdowns were a national best and an SEC record, snapping Tim Tebow and Tre Mason’s old mark of 23. In addition to the Heisman, he also won the Doak Walker Award, Walter Camp Award and Maxwell Award, among a multitude of other honors.

Henry is a native of Yulee, Fla.

¾ Became the fifth all-time NFL player to lead the NFL in rushing yards, attempts and rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons. It is a feat that had not been attained since Cleveland’s Leroy Kelly did it from 1967 to 1968. The only other players to achieve it are Jim Brown (1958-59), Steve Van Buren (1947-49) and Bill Paschal (1943-44).

¾ Established a single-game franchise record with 250 rushing yards on Jan. 3 at Houston. He broke his own club record of 238 rushing yards, established against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 6, 2018. Henry’s 250 rushing yards tied for the 13th-best single-game total in the NFL since 1948.

¾ Finished the 2020 season with 1,221 rushing yards in road games, the most by any NFL running back since 1948. The previous high was held by Eric Dickerson, who had 1,087 rushing yards in road games for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.

¾ Dating back to 2019, he had a streak of nine consecutive road games with at least 100 rushing yards, passing Chris Johnson (eight games from 2009-10) for the second-longest such streak in NFL history behind only Barry Sanders' 10-game road streak from 1996-97).

¾ Became the fifth player in NFL history with three 200-yard rushing games in a season, joining Earl Campbell (four in 1980), O.J. Simpson (1973), Tiki Barber (2005) and Jay Ajayi (2016).

¾ Became the first NFL player since LaDainian Tomlinson (2002-07) and the ninth player in NFL history to record at least three consecutive seasons in which he rushed for at least 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns

On Dec. 6, 2018, Derrick Henry had one of the most memorable rush ing performances in NFL history on Thursday Night Football. He rushed for a then-team-record 238 yards and four touchdowns (tied franchise record), including a 99-yard touchdown run.

WATCH: Highlights from Derrick Henry's performance on 12/6/18

Henry's 238 rushing yards set a new franchise record, breaking Chris Johnson’s mark of 228 yards against the Jaguars on Nov. 1, 2009. It was the highest single-game rushing total in the NFL in 2018 and the league's highest total since Doug Martin's 251 rushing yards for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 4, 2012.

Henry later broke his own record with 250 rushing yard at Houston on Jan. 3, 2021 to take possession of five of the top eight single-game rushing totals in team annals.

In the second quarter, Henry took a handoff from Marcus Mariota inside his own one-yard line and raced 99 yards for a touchdown. It was the second 99-yard run in NFL history, tying Tony Dorsett’s record-set ting touchdown run for the Dallas Cowboys against the Minnesota Vikings on Jan. 3, 1983. It was also the team record, topping Johnson’s 94-yard touchdown run against the New York Jets on Dec. 17, 2012. The only other runs in franchise history of at least 90 yards were Johnson’s 91-yard rush against the Houston Texans on Sept. 20, 2009 and a 91-yarder by Sid Blanks against the Jets on Dec. 13, 1964.

Henry’s 99-yard touchdown run tied for the longest scrimmage play in NFL history. It was the 15th such play, including his and Dorsett's runs and 13 passing plays. The last 99-yard scrimmage play before Henry's was New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz’s 99-yard reception from Eli Manning against the New York Jets on Dec. 24, 2011.

¾ His 24 points tied for the fourth-highest single-game total in franchise history, trailing only Billy Cannon (30 on Dec. 10, 1961), Rob Bironas (26 on Oct. 21, 2007) and George Blanda (26 on Sept. 18, 1960). Earl Campbell (Nov. 20, 1978) and Lorenzo White (Dec. 9, 1990) also had 24 points on four touchdowns in a single game.

6-2, 252, 5th Year, Boston College Click for complete bio

Outside linebacker Harold Landry III is in his fifth NFL season in 2022. He was selected by the Titans in the second round (41st overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft after the Titans traded up 16 spots in the second round (57 to 41) in order to take the former Boston College standout.

Landry was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 2, 2022.

From the start of his rookie season through 2021, Landry's 31 total sacks led the Titans. Other than Jevon Kearse (37), Landry produced the highest sack total by a Titans/Oilers player in his first four NFL seasons since individual sacks became an official NFL statistic in 1982.

From 2018 to 2021, Landry joined Pittsburgh's Cameron Heyward as the NFL's only players to be credited with at least 250 tackles (press box statistics), 30 sacks and two interceptions.

In 2021, Landry was named to his first Pro Bowl after starting all 17 games. He registered his third consecutive season to start every contest, extending his streaks to 64 consecutive games played and 52 consecutive starts. At the conclusion of 2021, his starting streak was the sixth-longest active streak in the NFL among all defensive players.

Landry's 12 sacks in 2021 led the Titans, ranked 10th in the NFL and established a career high. He became the first Titans player to record double-digit sacks in a season since Brian Orakpo (10.5) in 2016 and the first Titans player with 12 sacks in a season since Jason Babin (12.5) in 2010. Landry tied for second on the squad with 75 tackles, ranked second with a career-high 49 quarterback pressures, led the team with 14 tackles for loss, and added a forced fumble. He joined Micah Parsons, Aaron Donald and Heyward as the only NFL players in 2021 to post at least 75 tackles and 10 sacks.

Then, in the team's 2021 divisional playoff contest, he recorded 1.5 sacks. He improved his postseason career total to 4.5 sacks, becoming the organization’s first player with at least four career postseason sacks since individual sacks became an official statistic in 1982.

In 2020, Landry recorded 16 starts for the second consecutive season. He led the team with 5.5 sacks, a then-career-high 32 quarterback pressures and a then-career-high 10 tackles for loss. He totaled 69 tackles and added one interception and a career-high five passes defensed. In one playoff contest, he led the team with 10 tackles and two sacks.

Landry started all 16 games in 2019 and led the Titans with nine sacks. His 28 quarterback pressures ranked second, and he added 81 tackles, four tackles for loss, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He also started all three postseason games and registered a sack and a team-high eight quarterback pressures.

As a rookie in 2018, he played in 15 games with three starts. His 4.5 sacks tied for third place on the team, and he also tied for second on the defense with 18 quarterback pressures.

In 46 career games playing defensive end for Boston College, Landry totaled 160 tackles, 26 sacks, 47.5 tackles for loss, seven passes defensed, 10 forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one interception. His 26 career sacks were exceeded in school history by only Mathias Kiwanuka (37.5 from 2002-05).

As a senior in 2017, Landry played and started eight games before a season-ending ankle injury ended his year. He finished second on the team with five sacks and totaled 38 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and two passes defensed.

In 2016, Landry set the school’s single-season record with 16.5 sacks, which led the nation. He added seven forced fumbles, which also led the country, while his 22 tackles for loss ranked fifth nationally and ranked second all-time for the Eagles. His numerous honors included Walter Camp second-team All-America, AP second-team All-America and second-team All-ACC by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association and the league's head coaches.

He is a native of Spring Lake, N.C.

5-11, 212, 7th Year, Middle Tennessee State Click for complete bio

Safety Kevin Byard is in his seventh NFL season in 2022. He was selected by the Titans in the third round (64th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Byard is one of the team's most accomplished defenders and is among the NFL's most successful safeties in recent years. He finished the 2021 campaign as a three-time team captain, two-time Pro Bowl selection and a two-time Associated Press first-team All-Pro. Since entering the league, he has been a part of six consecutive winning seasons and four playoff berths.

Byard did not miss a game from 2016 through 2021, totaling 97 games in the regular season and seven postseason games. At the conclusion of 2021, his 88 consecutive starts in the regular season was the leading current streak among all Titans players, ranked first in the NFL among defenders, and was the sixth-longest active streak among all players.

Over a five-year period from 2017 through 2021, Byard led all safeties with 23 interceptions. The only players with more interceptions in that time were cornerbacks Xavien Howard (27) and J.C. Jackson (25). His interception total was 11th on the franchise's all-time list and sixth among all Titans/Oilers safeties.

In 2021, Byard was announced as a starter to his second career Pro Bowl and earned first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors for the second time in his career. He joined Bruce Matthews (1999–2000) and Albert Haynesworth (2007–2008) as the franchise's only players in its "Titans era" (since 1999) to earn multiple first-team AP All-Pro honors.

Byard led the Titans in 2021 with five interceptions and 88 tackles, becoming the franchise's first player to lead the team in tackles and interceptions in the same season since the team began tracking individual tackle statistics in 1974. It was his second consecutive season to lead the club in tackles and the fourth time in his career he was the interceptions leader. Additionally, his 13 passes defensed ranked second on the team and made up the highest total among NFL safeties. He also was credited with one sack, two quarterback pressures, one tackle for loss, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and his first two career touchdowns—one on

a fumble return and one on an interception return. He was the first Titans player with two defensive touchdowns in the same season since linebacker Zach Brown in 2012.

In 2020, Byard was a defensive team captain for the second consecutive season and the team's Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee. His 111 tackles led the team and established a career high. Additionally, he registered one interception, seven passes defensed, two quarterback pressures, one tackle for loss and one forced fumble. In one playoff game he produced five tackles, one pass defensed and a quarterback pressure.

From 2017 through 2019, no NFL player had more interceptions than Byard, who had 17. His 2019 totals included a team-leading five interceptions, 10 passes defensed, 91 tackles, one quarterback pressure and two tackles for loss. In three postseason games, he added 20 tackles and one interception.

In 2018, Byard finished with a team-leading four interceptions, 10 passes defensed, 96 tackles and two sacks. He also completed a touchdown pass on a memorable fake punt to help defeat the Houston Texans (Sept. 16).

Byard experienced a breakthrough second-year season in 2017. He was named to the Pro Bowl and earned first-team Associated Press AllPro honors after tying Detroit's Darius Slay for the NFL lead with eight interceptions. He added a pair of fumble recoveries to pace the league with 10 total takeaways.

As a rookie in 2016, Byard played in every game, starting the final seven contests at free safety. His 63 tackles were the most by a Titans rookie safety since Tank Williams' 69 tackles in 2002. He also ranked second on the squad with 10 special teams tackles.
