Tennessee really lost a lot of momentum by how that half ended. Giving up that 3rd and 16 deep in Baltimore territory was devastating. Not only did they lose an almost certain scoring chance but ended up giving up one of their own. At least it was only 3, but it could easily be 17 or 20 to 3 instead of 14-6. Big swing.

TD here would be huge.

Wonder what the biggest dog was to win an NFL playoff game? I'm assuming there's been a few double digit upsets.

Jeffrey Simmons at #12 would have been a really nice pick. I think Gary has a nice future ahead of him, but Simmons is going to be a stud in the NFL for a long time.

 

I have to think when the pick was made that they were planning on this year being more of a transition year than a contending year. So they went with who they saw as having the most upside rather than necessarily who they saw helping in 2020.

 

I think had they seen 13-3 coming this year, they might have gone in a different direction. Just my own speculation, nothing else.

I think we were 14 point favorites when we lost Super Bowl 32 to the Broncos. I would have to think Super Bowl 42 Giants beating the undefeated Pats was double digits. Today would be big but there's definitely been bigger.

Simmons was seen as a top 5 talent, but was injured and slated to to miss a big chunk of the season. He managed to make a pretty quick recovery, though, and has been a big contributor for the Titans. He'd look dreamy on that line with Lowery and Clark.

And that's it, folks. Houston gets a home game. Tennessee looks like NYG back in 2011.
