NFL: AFC Divisional Round-Tennessee Titans at Baltimore Ravens
The Tennessee Titans started the season just 2-4 and made a change at Quarterback during a Week 6 loss, benching Marcus Mariota in favor of Ryan Tannehill. Now they are just one win away from going to the Super Bowl.
The Titans followed up their upset win over the New England Patriots last week with an even bigger upset as they shocked the 14-2 Baltimore Ravens. The Titans took down the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a dominating 28-12 victory.
Star running back Derrick Henry once again lead the charge, rushing for 195 yards. This was the third consecutive game Henry rushed for over 180 yards, and he’s the first player in NFL history do so.
Henry’s game didn’t stop with rushing, as he even added a passing touchdown to his box score. Henry connected with Corey Davis for a 3-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to put the Titans up 21-6.
DERRICK HENRY JUST THREW THE PERFECT JUMP PASS.

The Ravens put up over 500 yards of total offense, but could only get in the endzone once. Quarterback Lamar Jackson was responsible for just about every one of those yards, but turnovers and missed opportunities ultimately cost the Ravens from seeing their season continue.
Jackson threw two interceptions, lost one fumble, and failed on two fourth-down conversions.
The Titans will continue their surprising run next week as they move on to the AFC Championship. They’ll be on the road to face the winner of Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans. The Titans defeated both the Chiefs and Texans this season after Tannehill took over as QB.
