HOUSTON – Late on Oct. 13, without having scored a point, they came home from Denver, 2-4 and terrible.
There was little cause for hope or belief in the 2019 Tennessee Titans at that point.
Even the most fervent believers inside the big offices, the GM upstairs and the head coach downstairs, working feverishly and well past even night-owl bedtimes had to have serious doubts.
Eleven weeks later, thanks to a 35-14 win over the resting Texans, the franchise has earned a second trip to the playoffs in three years, and done so in an improbable way.
