For the first time since the 2008 season, the road to the Super Bowl will go through Nashville after the Tennessee Titans wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 28-25 win over the Houston Texans in Week 18.
It was an ugly win, but a win nonetheless.
The Titans staked themselves to a 21-0 lead going into the second half, and at the time it looked like they would cruise to victory. However, the defense had several breakdowns in the second half, and the offense slowed down, leading to Houston climbing back into the game.
Thankfully, the Titans finally woke up in the fourth quarter and put together a scoring drive with a major assist from Ryan Tannehill, and then managed to run out the clock on the next series to close out the game.
While there was definitely some good to come out of the contest, there was also some bad. Here’s a look at the six biggest takeaways from Week 18.
