NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans can lose Sunday to Jacksonville, and if two other games fall correctly they can back into the playoffs riding a four-game losing streak.
They could then go to Jacksonville or Kansas City and lose a first-round playoff game.
And after coming to terms with that result, they could actually claim success.
