The Tennessee Titans fell to AFC South division rival Jacksonville Jaguars 20-13 in the teams’ second meeting in four weeks. In the first meeting, the Titans had control of the game for three quarters before blowing it in the fourth quarter. This week, they didn’t wait to let the Jaguars come back and win. Instead, they let the Jaguars control the entire game.
On their first possession of the game, the Jaguars drove down the field and kicked a field goal. They scored their first touchdown before the first quarter ended and led the game 10-0. The Titans would kick a field goal before the half, but they never recovered.
One of the few bright spots for the Titans today was Tyjae Spears, who left the game with 3:23 remaining in the third quarter. Despite leaving the game with an injury, Spears was the most productive skill player for the Titans on Sunday and earned himself Player of the Game honors.
Spears has begun to show the league what he can do on the ground versus his ability to catch the ball as a running back. Against the Jaguars, Spears stepped in for an injured Tony Pollard and carried the ball 20 times for 95 yards, an average of 4.8 yards per carry, and he caught three passes on four targets for eight yards, totaling over 100 yards in offensive production.
The Titans’ 2024 season has been incredibly disappointing, but there are still things to look forward to in 2025. Having both Spears and Pollard on the roster is one of them.
