Titans Tame Jaguars at Nissan Stadium in Season Finale Showdown
The Tennessee Titans closed their season with a hard-fought victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, ending with a 6-11 record and a final score of 28-20. The Jaguars, despite the loss, finished their campaign with a respectable 9-8 tally.
At Nissan Stadium, the Titans' offense was firing on all cylinders as they amassed a total of 327 yards. The ground game proved particularly effective, churning out 175 rushing yards across 26 attempts for an impressive average of seven yards per carry. This effort was highlighted by a breakaway run that resulted in the longest touchdown of the day at 69 yards.
The passing game complemented this dominance on the ground. The Titans' quarterback managed to complete 17 out of his 27 attempts for a total of 168 passing yards and two touchdowns. His performance yielded an admirable passer rating of nearly ninety percent while connecting on his longest pass for twenty-eight yards which also resulted in one of two passing touchdowns.
Defensively, Tennessee showed resilience by forcing two interceptions and returning them for four additional yards combined. They also made crucial stops when it mattered most; three fourth-down stops kept momentum firmly in their favor throughout the contest.
Special teams contributed to field positioning as well with punts totaling one hundred forty-four yards from three attempts and an average hang time that allowed coverage teams to limit return yardage effectively.
Penalties were few but impactful; five infractions cost them twenty-nine valuable yards yet only translated into three first downs for Jacksonville. Despite these setbacks, Tennessee's efficiency shone through especially in critical scoring situations – boasting perfect conversion rates both within the red zone and goal-to-go scenarios.
As fans reflect on this season's ups and downs, they can take solace in knowing that their team displayed heart and determination right through to the last whistle at Nissan Stadium.
