Helped Tennessee post a 7-3 record after starting the season 2-4.
The Titans' red-zone touchdown scoring percentage has gone from 19th when Tannehill took over to No. 1 in the NFL. Tennessee has scored touchdowns on each of its five trips to the red zone in the playoffs -- two of those five red-zone scores came on passes from Tannehill. The Titans haven't even attempted a field goal in the past four games. His tight-window throw to Anthony Firkser in the Titans' 20-13 wild-card win over the Patriots was an example of his excellence in the red zone.
Tannehill became the third quarterback since 1991 to finish the regular season with an overall and red-zone completion percentage of over 70%. (The others were New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees with 74.4% in 2018 and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young with 70.3% in 1994.)
The Titans' offense finished third in the NFL in points (30.4) and yards per game (406.2) from Week 7, when Tannehill took over, through the end of the regular season.
Tannehill finished the regular season with the highest passer rating (117.5) in the league.
After taking over as starting quarterback in Week 7, he has thrown at least one touchdown pass in every game -- including the postseason.
Prepare yourselves for the SUMMER OF THE STEELERS!
Cowher, Shell and probably Polamalu going to the hall. Likely to be on Hard Knocks. Almost certainly playing in the HoF game. WATTBA
Yeah, I don't get it either. I get that they laid two eggs (SF, LA) and won their other games close, but it's the NFL. Winning thirteen times is something 28 other teams couldn't do. So... okay?The meme has been kinda hilarious to me most of the season but is this even true when the Saints lost of the Vikings and we beat the Seahawks?
I'm pretty sure other 13-3 teams have gotten bounced earlier than the AFC/NFC Championship game too.
Remind me of the Kings in the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. They were 8th seed and won the cup.The Titans are the Cinderellas so I've obviously got to pull for them the rest of the way.
Wonder if Burrow tries to force a trade if he doesn't want to go to the Bengals.
Do the Panthers try to move up? What would it even cost? Everything?
Burrow doesn't strike me as that kind of person. Then again, I didn't think Eli was either. I would have to think it would take at minimum 2 first, and a couple of 2nd round picks. But seeing at the Bengals have arguably the worst QB situation in the league, no way do I see them trading out of that pick.
Nobody wants to be in Ohio they're used to it.Wonder if Burrow tries to force a trade if he doesn't want to go to the Bengals.
He was suspended for cheating so he is now ineligible for the HoF.
Nope we only have one inept cat themed football team here and it's called UK. Cincinnati is squarely Ohio's problem
Giants news:
Don't think it would be a bad hire but I know the fans would hate.
Meanwhile no news, rumors, or speculation on the Eagles front. I am getting moving OL coach Juan Castillo to DC vibes!
i would have hated the hire as HC but as a coordinator? Sure, go for it. I'd be curious to see how he uses both Jones and Saquon.
Still waiting on Hal Hunter being relieved of his duties. Go somewhere else, thanks.
@RVacchianoSNY: A name I've heard increasingly mentioned in connection with the Giants: Bill Callahan.
He worked under Garrett in Dallas from 2012-14 as OC and OL coach. Hiring Garrett as OC and Callahan as OL coach would be quite a coup for first-year coach Joe Judge, if it's possible.
It's hard to separate the talent from the scheme but Garrett was a good OC but he's not a NE style OC which is what I think Judge wants. Garrett was very much of the this is the way we line up execute school of thought and everything Judge was talking about is the NE school of we'll do what you're weak at this week
Callahan makes sure his olines know who to block which isn't something the Giants have been able to say for nearly a decadeCowboys let go of their RB coach, Gary Brown, too
Callahan would be a nice get, though.

Fuck the chiefs. Titans are gonna bend over that defense, Hooded Justice style.
It's gonna be Henry all day. 49ers aren't stopping him either.

Hmmmm. You don't want them, I don't want them, but I don't want Indiana to have anything either. This is quite the pickle.

Indiana doesn't want the Bengals
Man I don't want Steelers Hard Knocks, all the drama already left.
Give me Jags with Minshew or Cards with Fitz since he's coming back.
