Could the Tennessee Titans punt on Week 17 game versus Dallas Cowboys and instead go-for-it-all in Week 18 against Jaguars when AFC South title is on the line? That's the dilemma for Titans coach Mike Vrabel
with a head-to-head matchup coming in Week 18. The Jaguars play the Texans next week and the Titans host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, but those games don't affect the Titans' playoff hopes. No matter what happens in Week 17, a Titans win in Week 18 means a playoff berth and a Titans loss means the end of the season.
"We’ve got some guys that have played a lot of football for us that are far less than 100%," Vrabel said."It’s those guys that I appreciate that no matter what find a way to be here for this team. We’ll try to figure out who we have and who’s available and then make some decisions."The Titans need to get healthy. Their injury report two days before playing the Texans had 18 players on it.
Ideas like"learning to win" are tough to talk about. It's not a skill like learning multiplication tables or how to ride a bike where you know it or you don't. Sometimes players and teams that know how to win fall out of rhythm, as the Titans have. But it's also not like wiping a hard drive clean on a computer where when it's deleted it's gone forever.
Of course, healthy teams win more. Heading into Week 16, the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills all had players miss fewer than 150 cumulative games due to injury, making them among the healthiest teams in the NFL. They're also the four teams with the best chances of getting first-round byes in the postseason.
