The Titans (5-2) beat Philadelphia 37-19, at home, in Week 7 and sit atop the AFC South. QB Kerry Collins completed 17 of 31 for 276 yards with three TD’s but two interceptions. RB Chris Johnson had 24 carries for 66 yards, while Kenny Brit had a huge game with seven catches for 225 yards with three TD’s. Their defense pulled down two interceptions, but got just one sack. Vince Young will likely be back for Titans Sunday. Despite winning, Coach Jeff Fisher said he's almost disappointed in the production because he wants more. "I think we can play better in all three areas," Fisher said Monday. The Titans have won four of their games by scoring at least 30 points and put up 29 in another win over the New York Giants. Mix that with the defense limiting opponents to 16.7 points per game — third-stingiest in the NFL — and it keeps adding up to big wins for a Tennessee team that believes it still has plenty of room for improvement. The Titans offense is ranked 24th overall (302ypg) with a 29th ranked pass game (170ypg) and the eighth best ranked running game (131ypg). RB Chris Johnson has rushed for 662 yards, while Kenny Brit leads their offense with seven TD’s. They score the second most amount of points per-game (28.4ppg). On defense the Titans are ranked 14th overall (328ypg), with a 23rd ranked pass rush (230ypg) and a 10th ranked rush defense (97ypg). The Titans give up the third least amount of points per-game (16.7ppg).
The Chargers (2-5) lost to New England 20-23, at home, last week and have dropped to last place in the AFC West. QB Phillip Rivers made 34 of 50 passes for 336 yards with one TD and an interception. RB Ryan Mathews had 8 carries for a low 15 yards, while FB Michael Tolbert ran in a TD. WR Patrick Crayton made seven catches for 82 yards, while Antonio Gates added their lone receiving TD. The Chargers O-line allowed Rivers to be sacked four times. Titans RB Chris Johnson has rushed for over 100 yards in eight consecutive road games. These two teams are tied for the league lead with 25 sacks. QB Philip Rivers is 3-0 all-time against the Titans , while Antonio Gates leads all tight ends with eight touchdowns. I wonder if the Chargers regret that roster-exempt suspension for Vincent Jackson? WR Legedu Naanee, who has missed the past two games because of a hamstring injury, is expected to return to the Chargers' lineup Sunday. However, the Chargers again expect to be WR Malcolm Floyd and kicker Nate Kaeding, who has a groin injury. The Chargers offense is ranked best overall (422ypg) with the best ranked pass game (317ypg) and a 17th ranked running game (105ypg). They score the seventh most amount of points per-game (25.3ppg). On defense the Chargers are ranked first overall (255ypg), with a best ranked pass rush (163ypg) and a sixth ranked rush defense (91.5ypg). The Chargers give up the 19th least amount of points per-game (21ppg).
