But I’ll certainly give Tennessee a puncher’s chance against anyone. This is a tough, nasty, confident football team, well-coached and afraid of no one. When you see them on the schedule, you know you’re getting a three-hour physical challenge. The Titans punched Indianapolis in the mouth from the opening snap Sunday and… Source link
