The Titans looked great for 3 quarters, and then for 50 seconds.
Somehow the Titans beat the Texans 38-36, after blowing a 25 point 4th quarter lead. The game was won on the foot of journeyman Rob Bironas, who kicked an NFL record 8 field goals from distances of 29, 52, 43, 25, 21, 30, 28, and 29 (for those of you keeping fantasy points scored at home, thats 27.5 for a kicker!).
The Titans looked better than the two previous weeks, which is a good sign. They have not really played well after the bye week 3, but they did on Sunday mostly. The defense continues to pressure the QB and be extremely aggressive, getting turnovers to help our offense sans-Vince Young. Kudos to Kerry Collins, who made some fantastic throws all day, especially in the game-winning drive. Also kudos to the long snapper and field goal place holder, who gave Bironas the 8 opportunities to score.
Beating the Texas and the Jags losing puts us at 4-2, holding the 2nd place spot in the division with tiebreaking wins over the Jags and Texans. We have a few easy games coming up at home that we need to win. I think 10 wins gets us in the playoffs, assuming we are second place in our division of course. That means 6 more wins out of our last 10 games. Definitely doable.
