The Tennessee Titans continued their tumble down the AFC South standings after losing another road game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10, 20-6.
Yesterday’s outcome was the Titans’ fourth loss over their last five games played. Even more embarrassing, Tennessee has now gone an entire calendar year without winning a single game away from Nissan Stadium.
As for the rest of the division, the Jacksonville Jaguars finally had their five-game winning streak snapped in emphatic fashion, losing to the San Francisco 49ers, 34-3.
The Indianapolis Colts ended up winning a low-scoring contest in Germany over the New England Patriots by a score of 10-6. After starting 3-5, Indianapolis has put itself back in the playoff hunt.
Lastly, the Houston Texans kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired to win their second straight contest, beating the Cincinnati Bengals, 30-27.
75 percent of the AFC South have realistic playoff hopes to fight for going forward. The other 25 percent, AKA the Titans, are closer to securing a top-five pick than they are to a postseason spot.
