As good as the Jaguars have been, the Titans have been quite the opposite, as Tennessee has dropped six-straight games, tied for the second-longest losing streak of the Titans era. If Tennessee loses, the skid will stand alone as the second-longest since 1999.
And this isn’t some tough-luck skid, either.
The Titans are legitimately playing poorly, especially on offense, and have made things worse with self-inflicted wounds (penalties, turnovers) that Tennessee simply doesn’t have enough talent to overcome.
Going into Week 18, the Titans are fifth in the NFL in penalties and second in penalty yardage surrendered, per The Football Database. Also, Tennessee’s 10 turnovers since Week 14 are the second-most in the league.
The Jaguars are the better team right now and should win this game, but, any given Sunday (or in this case, Saturday), right?
