Scouting Breakdown: Key Matchups Decided Titans vs. Patriots

By BLAKE BEDDINGFIELD, special correspondent

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans' offensive and defensive game plan against the Patriots was more aggressive than at any time this season, forcing issues on both sides of the ball Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

The reason, I believe, was that the Titans felt they were the more talented team on the field for the first time this season, and that led to confidence not only from the players but also from the play-callers. This is an important revelation moving forward this season because they now know they can compete and force teams to play their style and not be as reactionary as they have been all season.
