NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans were finally able to breathe a much-needed sigh of relief.

Actually, two: They have a reliable kicker, and that eight-game losing streak going back to last November is over.

Nick Folk kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime in a sudden downpour as the Titans won their home opener, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

“I get to put the cherry on top,” Folk, a 16-year NFL veteran, said of the 13th winning field goal of his pro career.

The Titans made a trade with the New England Patriots for Folk after completing their preseason schedule without being satisfied by their options at kicker.
