Normally, a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars inspires confidence for the Tennessee Titans and their fans, but you can throw that out the window this week.
Wins over the Jaguars were easy to come by for years, but the Titans have lost each of their last two against Jacksonville, which marks the first time Tennessee is on a losing streak against its divisional foe since 2015.
This year’s Titans team has been woefully disappointing, also, and while the Jags have done less than expected in their own right, they have still been the superior team over 10 weeks, as evidenced by Jacksonville sitting in first place and Tennessee being in the cellar.
As if all that wasn’t bad enough, the Titans have been playing their worst football on the road (more on that shortly) and now have to travel to Duval.
The Titans have no shortage of concerns going into this game, but there are also some reasons to be optimistic, even though those have been difficult to come by of late.
