The Game Plan
There have been plenty
of surprises in the NFL reg
ular season thus far - and
of course, some things we
aren’t surprised by, like the
Cleveland Browns. But one
of the more exciting things
happening in the league
right now is the surprising
late-season surge that the
Tennessee Titans are on.
The Titans have flirted
with mediocrity for the last
several years. In fact, the last
time they made the play
offs was 2008 and they have
only been to the playoffs
two times in the last twelve
years.
Tennessee started this sea
son with a 1-3 record and
seemed to be headed for
another year of disappoint
ment. They had some tough
games and found themselves
at 5-6 after week 11. With
only five games left in the
season they knew that they
had to turn things around
if they wanted a shot at the
playoffs.
Three weeks later the
Titans are 8-6 after winning
three straight games over
the Chicago Bears, Denver
Broncos and Kansas City
Chiefs. Most impressive
were the wins over the Bron
cos and Chiefs, both of who
are top teams in the NFL
coming out of what has been
touted as the best division
in football. The Titans have
found a way to make then-
name relevant again despite
starting the season in typical
Titans fashion.
Now, with a record of 8-6,
Tennessee goes into their
last two games of the season
controlling their own des-

Craig played in all 10
games and started nine for
the Wildcats in 2016.
He recorded 24 tackles
and led the team in sacks

Athens Predators

The ABA, a semi-pro
fessional league differ
ent from the former ABA
that rivaled the National
Basketball Association
(NBA), was formed in
2000 and has 14 different
divisions.
Last month, the ABA
announced it would be
starting a team in Athens.
The Predators will be run
by Shawn Self, a native of
Athens who has run other
teams previously.

this past Sunday.
The Texans
currently have the
same record of 8-6
and sit atop the division due
to the head-to-head tiebreak
er that they own over Ten
nessee for a win against the
Titans they had in week 4.
The Texans play the Cincin
nati Bengals this Saturday
before they square off with
Tennessee on the last day
of the regular season. That
game will more than like
ly wind up being a play-in
game for the playoffs as the
winner will more than likely
win the division. Assuming
both the Texans and Titans
don’t have major collapses
this weekend.
It’s still unclear if the
Titans will pull it off and
return to the playoffs this
year, but what they have
already done is still impres
sive and - to be honest -
shocking. When they start
ed 1-3 I just figured they
would have another top 10
draft pick in this year’s draft.
But they have turned things
around and might make
some noise as they are fight
ing for a playoff spot.
