Remember These Titans
Remember this – the Tennessee Titans have now won four games in a row. The winning streak was extended Monday night with an impressive victory in the Titans’ original hometown of Houston. The streak started just over a month ago after a humiliating loss to the New England Patriots, 59 – 0. At that point the Titans were winless on the season. Six straight losses. Nowhere to go, but up.
