The Titans play host to the Redskins Sunday, with each team needing a victory to put a difficult week solidly in the past.Last week's losses were the bad news for the two teams.
The positive news is neither is out of the playoff chase, but each team very much needs a victory to stay in contention entering Thanksgiving and December.
The Titans, after a 2-2 start, won three consecutive games and looked like a team ready to take control of the AFC South, but they have sandwiched a pair of AFC losses around their November 7 bye week. They lost at San Diego, 33-25, before the bye then at Miami, 29-17, this past week to slip into a second-place tie with Jacksonville at 5-4 -- a game behind the defending AFC South champion Indianapolis Colts.
The two-game losing streak has come during a time of uncertainty at the quarterback position.
Vince Young started the first six games of the season, but has missed two of the last three games with knee and ankle issues. The Titans lost at San Diego in his only start of that period.
Sunday's game will be the second with the Titans for wide receiver Randy Moss, acquired off waivers earlier this month from Minnesota four weeks after the Vikings acquired him in a trade from the New England Patriots. Moss said this week he is comfortable in Tennessee, but caught just one pass for 26 yards against Miami last week in his first game with the team.
