Tennessee Titans 47, St. Louis Rams 7
The Tennessee Titans (6-7) gave the St. Louis Rams (1-12) a beating on Sunday, but they also took a little one themselves. Vince Young left the game early after pulling his hamstring, but he should be okay and is listed as day-to-day. He was able to do some damage before leaving, going 6/8 for 132 yards and a touchdown. Kerry Collins filled in very nicely for the injured Young, throwing for 154 yards and 1 touchdown on 11/19 passes. Chris Johnson was great once again, rushing for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns on 28 carries. He also caught three passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Johnson became the first Titans’ player in franchise history with at least 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a season.
On defense the Titans took advantage of the inexperienced rookie Keith Null, who was starting in place of the injured Kyle Boller. Boller was expected to play but he was a last minute scratch. That left the starting quarterback duties to Null who had never even taken a snap yet in his young NFL career. The Titans intercepted Null five times and were able to stack the line and shut down Steven Jackson. Jackson rushed for a season-low 47 yards on 19 carries. The lowly Rams were no match for the Titans, especially with Keith Null starting for them. The playoff hopes are still alive for the Titans, but just barely.
