1999 Seems So Long Ago
from First & Tenn Hosted by Nashville Post
A rainy day in Jacksonville stirred memories of when the Tennessee Titans played there early in the 1999 season, but the comparisons began and ended with the weather. Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars was a far cry from 25 years ago when a Titans' victory got the ball rolling on what turned out to be a Super Bowl run. Now, these Titans have lost five in a row, have clinched last place in the AFC South and -- with one game remaining -- are in position to land the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. ... For that final game, coach Brian Callahan has given up on trying to decide who should be his quarterback, so he will play Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, although he has no immediate plan on how to divide snaps and -- based on his comments -- no real expectation that either of them will perform at a meaningful level. ... If there has been a bright spot of late, it has been tight end Chig Okonkwo, who now has back-to-back seasons with 50 or more receptions, a stat that puts him in good company among the line of notable Titans tight ends. ... The final game will be at home against the Houston Texans, a team with nothing at stake but, nonetheless, plans to play its starters in preparation for the playoffs.
