The Tennessee Titans continued their epic downward spiral in Week 16 by losing a fifth-straight game for the first time in the Mike Vrabel era with a 19-14 loss to the lowly Houston Texans in Week 16.
The Titans now find themselves on the outside looking in for the playoffs, as the loss allows the Jacksonville Jaguars to jump Tennessee for first place via head-to-head tie-breaker for now.
The Titans are facing a winner-take-all Week 18 game against their division rival. But first, Tennessee has to host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17, which amounts to a meaningless game in terms of playoff implications.
However, Tennessee desperately needs a win before going into such a crucial game against the Jags, so it’s meaningful in that regard. The Jags, meanwhile, travel to take on the Texans next week.
