Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and Browns have been friends since their youth football days, while the team’s star safety, Byard, is just looking to have a fun afternoon.

“It’s going to be awesome. Obviously, A.J. is my guy. He’s having success in Philadelphia,” Byard said via Mainstreet Nashville. “I know he’s going to be amped up during the game, and I’m going back to my hometown. It’s going to be more about that for me. I’m going to have some family in the stands as well. It’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be a great environment. Their fans are pretty crazy.”
