Titans hope and need to start new streak to finish season

Last Sunday’s loss to the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts ended the Tennessee Titans winning streak, which started after the team lost all of the first seven games. But the Titans still keep the hope of winning all the remaining games of the season.

That means they will have to beat the St. Louis Rams, the Miami Dolphins, the San Diego Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks. None of the last three teams looks easy to win over. But since Vince Young could lead the 0-7 Titans to win five consecutive games by beating the Jaguars, 49ers, Bills, Texans and Cardinals, it is just reasonable for all those who love Titans jerseys to be optimistic toward the remaining games.

The Titans will play three of their final four games at home. The first one is to play against the St. Louis Rams and it would be simplest part of achieving new streak as the Rams is 1-11 now. Good luck for Titans.

Unbeaten Colts unsurprisingly won their 12th game by beating Titans 27-17

Already being the best always urges you to keep being the best, and that may be why the Indianapolis Colts still keep their winning streak. Sunday night’s 27-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans marked the Colts’ 21st consecutive regular-season win.

And without exception, they set records. This time there were four: matching the New England Patriots’ record of winning consecutive regular-season games set from 2006 to 2008; breaking their own NFL record of 6 consecutive 12-win seasons- they now have seven such seasons; remaining undefeated along with the New Orleans Saints and it was for the first time two teams remain unbeaten this late in the season; tying the 1990s San Francisco 49ers’ record of most wins in a decade with winning 113 game totally.

Those records have seemed commonplace to those who wear Colts jerseys. They celebrate the win just as they usually did: strolling toward midfield and then shaking hands and trotting into the locker rooms. But something should be different. The Titans was the last team to beat the Colts in 2008 and have hoped to end Colts’ winning streak and keep their own winning streak, but failed. That is another story to tell.
