Titans’ reasons for optimism, concern going into Week 14

The Titans’ reasons for optimism and concern going into a Week 14 game against the Jaguars.

It what has been one of the most wild weeks in the history of the Tennessee Titans, they now have to prepare for a Week 14 AFC South showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee fired its general manager this week, ending Jon Robinson’s tenure after six-plus seasons. The move shocked the football world, especially because of its timing.

But as head coach Mike Vrabel said, the Titans have to continue pushing forward with games left to play, and with a division and playoff spot to be secured.

The Titans can take the next step in both of those goals this week, as a win over the Jaguars would knock them out of the AFC South race, where they are already hanging by a thread.

While the Titans have dominated the Jags in recent years, this game has more uncertainty around it than usual thanks to what transpired this week, and this season overall.

But, as always, there are reasons to be optimistic, too.
