WEEK 14-17, 2013

Titans @ Broncos: The top two teams in the AFC duke it out in a surprisingly defensive battle. At halftime the score was 7-6 in favor of Denver. Locker and Manning are pretty even and both are having trouble stringing together solid drives. Coming out of halftime Peyton was sure to show Tennessee that despite no longer leading the Colts, he could still whoop the Titans when he needed to. In spite of Tennessee holding Denver to a total of 27 yards rushing, Peyton was able to air the ball for 285 yards and two TDs. Broncos get the win, 17-6. 9-4.

Cardinals @ Titans: Titans come out with back-to-back losses fresh on their mind. Arizona was well aware of this as well and hoped to gain momentum against the Titans, scoring out of the gate. Jake Locker didn't take kindly to that went on a tear, passing for 3 TDs and 224 yards. Tennessee's defense attacked the Cardinals backfield at each opportunity, forcing and recovering two fumbles and picking off Carson Palmer twice. Scoreboard stopped at 42-10, Titans. 10-4

Titans @ Jaguars: Jaguars look to defend at home against Tennessee's efficient offense. Shonn Greene showed his immense red zone ability for two TD's, while only gaining 14 yards rushing on the day. Jake Locker went 15/23 for 171 yards to push the Titans to the win. 11-4

Texans @ Titans: Tennessee looked to prove a point in this game, facing the leagues leading rusher in Arian Foster, who already had 2036 yards rushing on the season. Chris Johnson came out firing, showing Foster who the better back was, dashing for a total of 158 yards, on 7.2 YPC and an astounding 3 rushing TDs and an 18 yard receiving TD. Shonn Greene also throw his name in the hat holding 58 of his own on 9.7 YPC. Besides Dash, Tennessee's defense was the star picking off Matt Schaub twice, and holding Foster to a sub 100 yard game. Titans win 28-21. 12-4

Post Season Q4 Thoughts:
Color me surprised. 12-4. AFC South Champs. I can't believe it. Jake Locker is the most efficient QB in the league in every category except the Red Zone, still top 5 there, and TD/INT rate. Chris Johnson has the most YPC in the league, and could have easily had another 2000 yard season had he been giving the needed touches. Shonn Greene is a very capable situation back. As a rookie, Justin Hunter led the team with 84 catches and 847 yards. Jason McCourty tied for the most INTs in the league. I think it's worthwhile to note, while Jake Locker is the most efficient QB as far as completions and conversions, he ended the year 18 TDs/16 INTs. I blissfully optimistic heading into the playoffs. Speaking of, we were unable to secure a first round bye, those spots taken by Denver and New England. So, we play our good friends up the road in Indy in the first round.

Around The League:
- Big news is that Arian Foster ended the season with 2141 yards on the ground, with a mind-boggling 5.72 YPC. Put the Texans on his back and willed them into the playoffs
- Eli Manning and Matt Stafford battled for the Passing Yardage crown, but Eli pulled it out, ending with 5171 yards in the air.
- Big surprise is that Jaguar rookie WR Justin Blackmon snatched the Receiving Yardage crown with 1657
