The Tennessee Titans (9-4) travel to Heinz Field to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6-1) in a crucial AFC showdown with major playoff implications.
Following last night’s New England Patriots loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the Titans are now in the driver’s seat to retake sole possession of the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a victory.
A win would put them at 10-4 and tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the best record in the conference, but Tennessee gets the edge as far as seeding goes due to the head-to-head tie-breaker.
The Steelers, on the other hand, are just trying to stay afloat in an AFC playoff picture that realistically has about 13 teams who have a shot at making the playoffs.
Tennessee and Pittsburgh have a ton of history that dates back to the old AFC Central days and the rivalry always reignites between fanbases anytime these two teams link up.
This has all the makings of an old fashion black-and-blue type game, so let’s take a look at three things the Titans need to do to ensure they come out on top by days end.
