The Tennessee Titans will return to action in Week 17 when they host the Miami Dolphins at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
The Titans got back on track in Week 16 with a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers, a game that saw Tennessee’s passing attack finally come to life in the second half thanks to the return of A.J. Brown.
Miami enters this contest as the hottest team in the NFL after having won seven straight games, which comes on the heels of losing seven straight and starting 1-7. The Dolphins became the first team in NFL history to notch a seven-game winning and losing streak in the same season.
This game will have serious playoff implications for both teams.
The Titans are a win or an Indianapolis Colts loss away from winning the AFC South, and can get back into the No. 1 seed entering Week 18 with a victory and a Kansas City Chiefs loss.
The Dolphins are sitting in third place in the still obtainable AFC East, but their best bet at a postseason berth comes through the wild card, where they currently own the seventh and final spot.
As is always the case, the Titans have reasons for optimism and concern going into this game. Let’s see what they are.
