The Tennessee Titans (1-7) host the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2) this Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CST at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. This contest marks the first of two meetings between these division rivals this season, with the return leg scheduled for Week 12 in Florida. While the Titans lead the all-time series 35-28 since the Jaguars entered the league in 1995, momentum has shifted dramatically in recent years. Jacksonville has won four of the last five matchups and currently holds the top spot in the AFC South, setting a high bar for Tennessee to overcome.
Nashville’s defense faces a critical test against the AFC South leaders without key veterans.
The Titans enter this game facing significant defensive challenges after trading two of their most veteran players. Linebacker Jeffery Simmons was sent to the Chicago Bears two weeks ago, and safety Amani Hooker was traded to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday ahead of the 3:00 p.m. deadline. Although Tennessee managed a surprising victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6, the absence of these leadership figures leaves a void that must be filled immediately. The defense needs a new voice to step up; otherwise, facing a dominant Jaguars offense could result in a long and difficult afternoon for the host team.
