2019 NFL Divisional Divineness?
We are now 11-1 ATS in these playoffs, more to come in our Championship picks post. Did you know? Last weekend was Chiefly and Titanic...
Since the NFL went to its current 12 team playoff format in 1990, the 2019 Tennessee Titans became the third team to begin the season with a record of 2-4 or worse, and advance to the conference championship game, joining the 2002 Titans (2-4) and the 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars (2-4).
The Titans became the 1st #6 seed to reach a conference championship game since 2010. They are the 6th team to do so since the current NFL playoff format began in 1990, joining the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers, 2008 Philadelphia Eagles, 2008 Baltimore Ravens, 2010 New York Jets and the 2010 Green Bay Packers.
In consecutive playoff games, the Titans have passed for less than 100 yards and rushed for more than 200 yards. In the Super Bowl era, only three other teams - the 1972 and 1973 Miami Dolphins, and the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers have accomplished the feat.
In consecutive playoff games, the Titans have rushed for more than 200 yards and allowed only one sack. In the Super Bowl era, only two other teams - the 1973 Miami Dolphins and the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers have accomplished the feat.
The Titans became the 1st road team to defeat three current season divisional winners (HOU, NE, BAL) in consecutive weeks. With all three games being elimination matches for the Titans.
Titan RB Derrick Henry joined Marcus Allen (3), Terrrell Davis (3), Franco Harris (2) and Le’Veon Bell (2) as the only NFL players to rush for at least 150 yards in consecutive postseason games in NFL history.
Monsieur Henry also became the only player in NFL history to record three consecutive games with at least 180 rushing yards, and has only been stopped for a loss four times all season.
Meanwhile, found next to the word explosive...
in overcoming a 24 point deficit five minutes into the 2nd quarter, Patrick Mahomes tossed four TD's in the 2nd quarter (for the 2nd time this season). The Chiefs scored TDs on a playoff record 7 straight possessions while cruising 51-7 in the final 40 minutes.
