Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars, Preview: Can Chris Johnson, Jake Locker Lead Titans to the Playoffs?

Despite one of the worst defenses in the league, the Tennessee Titans can make a late playoff push starting Sunday as they meet the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field.

The 4-6 Titans are fresh from a bye week, and their most convincing win in Week 10 when they dominated the Miami Dolphins 37-3. Running back Chris Johnson ripped off 126 yards and a touchdown, and the Titans defense forced four Dolphin turnovers.

Johnson had gotten off to a porous start this season, but has rushed for at least 99 yards in the last four games, and has scored all four of his touchdowns in the same span.

Second-year quarterback Jake Locker was an inaccurate 9-for-21 but still through two touchdowns, and should still start Sunday ahead of veteran Matt Hasselbeck.

Tennessee is two games away from a wild card spot in the wide open AFC playoff race, and three of their remaining six games are against sub .500 teams, like Jacksonville.

The Jaguars have lost seven in a row, but nearly upset the Houston Texans last week in a 43-37 overtime thriller. Houston needed two touchdowns in the final six minutes of regulation in order to force over time, and the Jaguars gave up a 48 yard touchdown reception to Andre Johnson with 2:01 left for the loss.

Jacksonville’s Chad Henne filled in for Blaine Gabbert, and went 16-for-33 for 354 yards and four touchdowns, while receiver Justin Blackmon had seven receptions for a phenomenal 236 yards and one touchdown.

In the best performance of the season for the Jacksonville offense, running back Jalen Parmele also had 24 carries for 80 yards in a breakout game.

The Jaguars defense failed to keep at 14-point lead in the fourth, and gave up 653 total yards to Houston.

The game begins at 1 p.m. EDT and will be shown by CBS, or watch a live stream online by purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket Max.
