Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing was arrested for DUI just hours after the Titans’ win over Green Bay on Thursday night. Downing was arrested by the Tennessee Highway Patrol in Williamson County early Friday morning. He was cited for driving under the influence and speeding, and booked into the Williamson County jail at approximately 4:30 a.m. Downing was released around 7 a.m. According to the arrest report, the arresting officer pulled Downing over after his vehicle was… Source link

Just six weeks after he was shot twice in the leg during an attempted robbery, the Washington Commanders activated rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. on Saturday. And that’s not all. Robinson will be available to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon, and according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, he reportedly will play. If he does, it will be his NFL debut. Johnson was shot in the leg multiple times on Aug. 28. He’d gone out to the H Street corridor in Washington, D.C. to… Source link

From the start of the NFL draft to the end of it, only one division saw the favorite change in the odds at BetMGM. The A.J. Brown trade was a pretty big deal. The Tennessee Titans decided they didn’t want to pay Brown, one of the NFL’s most talented receivers, so they traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles. They used the first-round pick they acquired in the trade to take receiver Treylon Burks, but we don’t know if Burks can be anywhere near as good as Brown, especially as a rookie. That’s why… Source link

The Tennessee Titans have their Ryan Tannehill succession plan. It’s a fun one. With the 86th overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft, the Titans selected Liberty quarterback Malik Willis, ending a Day 2 slide for the talented passer. Willis was emotional when his name was called, to say the least. In Willis, the Titans are getting a quarterback Yahoo Sports’ Eric Edholm described as a “nuclear-grade arm talent” and and an explosive athlete built like a power running back. Simply put, no quarterback… Source link

The most damning testimonial about the distorted adherence to the NFL’s Rooney Rule went unnoticed for nearly 18 months. Lost in the abyss of COVID-related football coverage — nestled in the middle of a “Steelers Realm” podcast in October of 2020 — former NFL head coach Mike Mularkey took a familiar allegation about the Rooney Rule and told a story about it from a completely unfamiliar vantage. He provided the viewpoint of the guy who actually got the top job in 2016, and the regret… Source link

Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard was asked last week if he’d view this season as a disappointment if it didn’t end with a Super Bowl ring. Yes, he answered. “We’ve accomplished some good things,” Byard said. “But when the playoffs start, none of that stuff means anything.” He was right. It didn’t. For Saturday’s AFC divisional playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals at frenzied Nissan Stadium, the Titans were as rested and healthy as they’ve been all season. They had Source link

The Cincinnati Bengals started playing football in 1968. They had never won a road playoff game before Saturday night.  It seems impossible to go more than 50 years without one road playoff win. But the Bengals stood at 0-7 in those matchups.  Things are changing.  The Bengals, whose last playoff win before this season came in January of 1991, won their second playoff game in a week and are moving on to the AFC championship game with a 19-16 win over the Tennessee Titans, the No. 1 seed in… Source link

The spirit of instant replay reviews is plays should only be overturned if there is conclusive evidence the call on the field was wrong. NFL officials don’t often follow that.  On Saturday, it certainly wasn’t conclusive that the ground helped Titans defensive back Amani Hooker grab an interception. It was so close, you could watch the replay dozens of times and still not know. Two people could watch the replay and have differing opinions.  It was really close. But ultimately, Hooker’s play… Source link
