3 key matchups to watch for Titans-Cowboys Week 17 game

Three key matchups to watch during Titans-Cowboys on Thursday night.

The Tennessee Titans are set to host the Dallas Cowboys in a primetime showdown on “Thursday Night Football”.

The hype for this game has unfortunately taken a big hit following the odd situation in which the Titans presently find themselves in.

Truth of the matter is, nothing that occurs this week will change the reality that the Titans are on a collision course with the Jacksonville Jaguars to fight for the division on January 8th in Duval.

This has led to the natural discussion regarding whether or not Tennessee should rest several of its starters to get as healthy as possible for the big Week 18 game.

Mike Vrabel and several players hinted that it’s a legitimate possibility some players sit, while also applying the politically correct stance by emphasizing that each player will be ready for whatever the coaching staff decides.

Translation: you probably shouldn’t be expecting to see any notable Titans players that are even the slightest bit banged-up at the moment.

As you would expect, this decision will significantly impact the game’s individual and collective battles.

Therefore, let’s dive right in and take a closer look at three potential matchups that are still expected to take place when the Titans host the Cowboys on Thursday night.
