Winner Winner! – The Titans have owned the Jaguars the previous two seasons. Jacksonville erased a two-game losing streak with their first win of the season on a Thursday night.

Jacksonville and Tennessee both need this game to remain a playoff thought. The Jaguars need it to help ease the tension of how the organization seems to be in a bit of disarray. They also know they got manhandled last week with a running game that could not be stopped.

Derrick Henry made Jacksonville his own punching bag last year to the tune of 238 yards and four touchdowns. Will that happen again? I don’t think so.

The Jaguars need to stop the run, control the clock and let the defense do its thing. There is a lot of pride to be played for. Foles needs to have a better game and the offensive line must give him time to throw. This team will find a light in the adversity it has faced this week.

That’s a sweep of the Titans with one more division game – against the Colts at the end of the season.
