The Tennessee Titans (8-8) pulled out a close win against the Seattle Seahawks (5-11) in a meaningless game, but there were still headlines to be made.  Titans’ running back Chris Johnson became only the sixth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, and he ended the game 5th on that list with 2,006 yards.  Johnson was the reasons the Titans one this game, rushing for 134 yards and 2 touchdowns on 36 carries.  His second touchdown came with 4:33 left in the game, which gave the Titans the lead for good.  Vince Young didn’t have a great game, going 17/28 for 171 yards and an interception, but his resurgence this season should give Titans’ fans some hope.

On defense, the Titans did a good job keeping Seahawks’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck in check.  Hasselbeck went 15/30 for 175 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.  They got some good pressure on Hasselbeck and forced a fumble, although they failed to recover it.  They did not do a good job stopping the run though, with the Seahawks getting 140 rushing yards as a team on just 26 carries.  The Titans missed the playoffs, but their season wasn’t all that terrible.  They showed a lot heart by not giving up this season after starting 0-6, going 8-2 the rest of the way.  Also, Chris Johnson had one of the best seasons by a running back ever.
