After dropping their fifth-straight game in Week 16, the Tennessee Titans now have to welcome one of the best teams in the NFL in Week 17, the Dallas Cowboys.
The playoff-bound Cowboys enter this game winners in five of their last six, including a Week 16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles that kept their division hopes (and more) alive.
While the Cowboys have something to play for, no matter how slim their chances might be at the division and No. 1 seed, the Titans are on the opposite end of the spectrum, at least for this week.
That’s because a Week 18 do-or-die game with the Jacksonville Jaguars awaits, no matter the outcome of this game. Such a fact could propel Tennessee to re-think its strategy for Thursday night’s game.
We’ll talk about that and much more as we take a look at six things to know about the Week 17 contest between the Cowboys and Titans.
