The Titans lost 8 straight games

The NFL games on Thursdays are usually great, but that is definitely not the case this Thursday, which offers the meeting of two teams that won 4 games combined this season. The Titans won the first head-to-head match to record their last win

Jacksonville Jaguars can't be too pleased with this season, having recorded only two wins in 14 games. At least the opponents aren't crushing them as badly as they did in the first few weeks of the season. They lost 20-12 in Baltimore last Sunday, which is quite a good result. They didn't record a single point in the third quarter for the 8th time this season. A total of 32 points is all they got in the third quarters this season combined.

- We didn't score a single touchdown. If we got just one, we would have had a great chance to maybe win this game - coach Bradley said. His team recorded 20 or more points only three times this season, averaging only 15.1 points.

Jacksonville's offense was lead by Blake Bortles for the last 11 games. He passed for four touchdowns while being sacked 15 times. Bortles was the third pick of this year's draft and now has the second worst passer rating in the league (70.6). Since October 9th, he was sacked 41 times, which is the worst record in that period of time in the league.

- Many of them are on me, some on the offense line. The whole offense works as a unit. You need to be used to being hit in football. It's much easier at the university level, the guys are much tougher and faster here. I'm working on passing the ball in the right moment - Bortles said after completing 21 out of 37 passes for 210 yards in Baltimore, while being intercepted once and sacked 8 times. He got a foot injury over the week, but that will allegedly not stop him from playing today.

- A few more days and I'll probably be alright. I'll try and prepare as best as I can.

It would be great help if his running backs would improve their performances. They have been rushing for only 85.0 in the last 5 games. The Jaguars' defense is allowing the opponents 26.9 points on average, but luckily for them, they now face a very poor offense.

Tennessee Titans are doing horribly this season, having lost 12 out of the last 13 games, including 8 in a row. The point difference on the losing streak is 111-254. They lost Jack Locker, who started the season as the quarter back but didn't keep the job for long, last Sunday in the 16-11 defeat to the Jets. Zach Mettensberg's injury presented him with a new chance that was ruined by a shoulder injury, which means the Titan's offense will be lead by Charlie Whitehurst, who stepped in last week to complete 10 out of 24 passes for 203 yards. He started three games this season for a 1-2 record, with passer rating of 84.9. His only win was the game against the Jaguars (16-14), in which he completed 17 out of 28 passes for 233 yards.

- I think highly of Charlie and what he did. He started the Jaguars' game last time and did a good job. He's been a support for everyone and we have faith in him as our QB - coach Whisenhunt said.

The Titans have been averaging only 16.5 points this season (15.5 on the losing run), while allowing the opponents 33,7. The Titans struggle with yards on the ground as well - their running backs average only 64.8 yards, which makes the quarter backs' job very difficult.

The Titans had 6 sacks in the first head-to-head game, with their special team blocking a field goal attempt with 12 seconds on the clock. The Nashville team won three out of the last 4 head-to-head games, with their overall record in Jacksonville being 11-8.
