Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (82) catches a pass in front of Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker J.T. Thomas (52) during their NFL game in Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Nate Washington spoiled Brad Meester’s home finale. He also may have helped save Mike Munchak’s job.
Washington scored on a 30-yard reception in the fourth quarter and Tennessee got a much-needed defensive stop late — both equally huge in helping the Titans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-16 and end a three-game losing streak Sunday.
Munchak surely didn’t need getting swept by Jacksonville on his resume.
And with lowly Houston up next, the Titans (6-9) could make a case for keeping their longtime player and coach another year.
Tennessee overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half and won for just the third time since September.
