NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have the slimmest hope of making the NFL playoffs, but they must win out to have any chance of keeping it alive.
Figuring out who they are would be a first step in the right direction. The Titans (3-9) also must bounce back from last week’s ugly road loss to the Washington Commanders that cost them yet another chance to string together consecutive wins for the first time in more than two years.
“We know that this is a big opportunity for us to develop as a team and to create and to continue developing our identity,” Tennessee quarterback Will Levis said. “And so we’re going to make sure that we do our best throughout these next few weeks to do that.”
Levis, a second-year pro, is at least still playing after missing time earlier this season due to injury.
The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10), who will visit the Titans in an AFC South Division matchup Sunday at Nissan Stadium, have essentially lost quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the rest of the season. Lawrence was put into concussion protocol soon after taking a late hit from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in a 23-20 loss to the AFC South-leading Houston Texans last weekend, and the No. 1 pick of the 2021 draft was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
