streak over the Jaguars to four straight on Thursday night in impressive fashion Youth Corey Davis Jersey , beating their AFC South rivals 30-9 to advance to 7-6 on the season. Tennessee has now outscored Jacksonville 91-41 over the last two seasons. With that, let’s get to winners and losers.WinnersDerrick HenryHenry was so dominant that this almost needs to be a category to itself. The big back out of Alabama rumbled for 238 yards — a franchise record — on 17 carries and hit the endzone four times in one of the most impressive running back performances you’ll ever see. He also tied the NFL record for longest run at 99 yards on a ridiculous play that saw him swat away at least three Jaguars defenders on the way to the endzone.Henry was in dominant form from the start against his hometown team and there should be no doubt who the RB1 for the Titans is moving forward. The “Henry! Henry! Henry!” chants rang down from the crowd in the second half, stirring the spirit of Eddie George’s dominant days in the Titans backfield. It was a special night for Henry.Quinton SpainI don’t actually know how well Spain played in this one (it’s hard to tell too much watching it live), but he retained his job as starting left guard and managed to help lead the way for 264 yards rushing and just one sack for zero yards lost during the game. That almost makes this a good game for him by default.Jurrell CaseyThe Titans best defender was at it again today, tallying 6 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 1 tackle for loss during the game. The 1.5 sacks bring him to 7 total on the season which ties for the second highest mark of his career. Casey is just an animal on the inside of that defense.Rashaan EvansEvans is officially only credited with 5 tackles during the game, but he was in on a sack of Kessler at one point and was a key part of the big 4th down stop of Leonard Fournette. Evans continues to be a major problem for opposing offenses.Anthony FirkserI know... I talk about Firkser a lot, but that’s just because he constantly makes plays for the Titans offense. Obviously, thoughts should be with Jonnu Smith who suffered a leg injury during the game and was unable to return. He had been turning a corner and now is a tough time to lose a dynamic offensive playmaker. However Youth Kevin Byard Jersey , Firkser has been making contributions for several weeks now and could see his role growing moving forward, especially if Smith is out for a while. Firkser is still yet to even have an incomplete pass on a ball thrown his way this season.Titans FansIf last week’s Titans game at Nissan Stadium was a drama, this one was a comedy. Home fans who turned out got to see a franchise record be broken and the team extend its winning streak to four games over the hated Jaguars. The Titans are now 15-3 at home over the past 18 games. They also kept their playoff hopes alive and we can now spend the weekend rooting for the Patriots to beat the Dolphins, the Chiefs to beat the Ravens, and 49ers to beat the Broncos. LosersA.J. Bouye, Leon Jacobs, and Myles Jack AKA the guys who got caught in Derrick Henry’s brutal hurricane of stiff arms during his 99-yard run.Jalen RamseyFor flopping like a soccer player when Taylor Lewan got in his face. The Titans came out firing on Sunday afternoon, giving us some flashes of what could be with this offense under Matt LaFleur. We really haven’t seen much of it due to injuries up front and to Marcus Mariota. Early on, that changed today. Mariota is finally getting healthy and it showed. LaFleur dialed up multiple shots down the field to Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor. The connection wasn’t quite there, however. Mariota missed a wide open Davis Youth Marcus Mariota Jersey , which should have been six, then Jonnu Smith had a key drop to stop the first drive. The Titans settled for three points to open the game.Mariota came back on the next drive with a good ball to Taylor down the middle of the field deep, but contact forced an incomplete pass. So early on, the Titans missed two opportunities to get into the endzone.After dominating much of the first half, Tennessee found themselves trailing. A deep strike to Jordan Matthews put the Eagles ahead midway through the second quarter. It was Malcolm Butler once again giving up the deep ball. With the seconds winding down in the first half, Mariota tossed a pick, giving the Eagles a shot to add to their lead. Luckily for the Titans, that was only three points. Philadelphia took a 10-3 lead into halftime.They immediately added to it coming out of the break. A long drive ended with an Alshon Jeffery touchdown, who reeled in a jump ball against LeShaun Sims. Sims was playing for Adoree’ Jackson, who exited the game during the previous play. It didn’t take Mariota long to strike back Youth Derrick Henry Jersey , however. An efficient drive brought the Titans right back into this one as Mariota scrambled into the endzone to bring it back to a seven point game. The Titans needed a big play defensively — and they got one. It was Harold Landry with the sack fumble, giving Tennessee another chance to close the gap. They were able to add another field goal, bringing the Eagles’ lead to 17-13. Nelson Agholor dropped a pass on third and six, forcing the Eagles to punt back to the Titans with eight minutes to play. A 51 yard Corey Davis catch followed that, setting the Titans up with a golden opportunity to take the lead. And they did just that. Mariota found Tajae Sharpe to go up 20-17 with just five minutes to play. It was a quick three and out for Carson Wentz, who failed to connect with Zach Ertz on third down. The Eagles punted once more, handing the Titans a chance to put this one on ice with 2:45 to play.A quick screen to Davis put the Titans in a third and three situation, but the Titans couldn’t convert on the following play. They went back to Davis on another screen, but didn’t get the blocking that they needed. Wentz got the ball inside Titans’ territory following a big time return on the punt. A screen to Jeffery got them inside of the redzone with just one minute to play. However, the defense held http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-ryan-succop-jersey , forcing a fourth and three with 21 seconds to play. Jake Elliott split the sticks to tie things up, which sent us to overtime. The Eagles would get the ball to open. It was Jay Ajayi getting things rolling, picking up a first down off the bat. Wentz came back with a pass to Jeffery for another chunk, then it was Ajayi getting down into the redzone.The Titans bent, but didn’t break. Dean Pees’ group go the stop on third down, forcing another Elliott field goal. The Eagles now led 23-20, meaning the Titans had to answer on their next drive.Mariota delivered a bomb right on the money to Darius Jennings, who dropped it. That ball would have put the Titans in field goal range at least. Instead, the Titans were faced with a third and ten. Mariota threw incomplete to Davis, bringing up fourth and ten. A penalty made it fourth and 15. With the ballgame on the line http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-jurrell-casey-jersey , Mariota converted. It was Taywan Taylor on a 15 yard out, keeping the Titans alive. They were faced with another fourth down just minutes later, which they were able to convert with the help of a pass interference call. But a negative play on a pitch and a sack set up third and long. Mariota scrambled for 16 yards — enough for a Ryan Succop field goal attempt. Or so we thought. Vrabel changed his mind after an Eagles timeout and went for it. It was Dion Lewis catching a dump off and barreling down to the Eagles 15. Time became a factor now with just 20 seconds to go. Mariota fired two incompletions, setting up third down. But he found Corey Davis in the endzone on the next play. It was a floater that Davis snatched out of the sky to beat the defending Super Bowl champs. Final Score: Titans 26, Eagles 23
