2012 Regular Season Week 17 Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Page 3 of 78 TITANS-JAGUARS SERIES HISTORY The Jaguars are the Titans’ longest-standing division rival. The clubs have met at least twice each year since Jacksonville began play as an expansion franchise in 1995. For the first seven seasons of the rivalry they played in the AFC Central, and for the last 10 years they have been members of the AFC South. The teams have met a total of 36 times, with the Titans holding a 20-16 advantage. The majority of Titans-Jaguars contests have been highly competitive. Overall, 21 of the 36 Titans-Jaguars meetings have been decided by seven points or fewer. First matchup of 2012, played Nov. 25 at EverBank Field, was no exception. Despite seven sacks by the Titans defense, the Jaguars intercepted two late passes by Jake Locker to preserve a 24-19 victory. The last time the teams met at LP Field was Dec. 24, 2011. The Titans held on for a 23-17 victory on a day in which Matt Hasselbeck passed for 350 yards, including 169 yards and a touchdown to tight end Jared Cook. The Titans have posted two separate five-game winning streaks against the Jaguars, dating from 1998-00 and 2001-03. Jacksonville’s longest winning streak in the series was a four-game run from 1996-98. The stakes of the rivalry were never higher than in 1999, when the Titans and Jaguars met three times, including the AFC Championship Game in Jacksonville. Steve McNair rushed for two touchdowns and Derrick Mason returned a kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown as the Titans earned their first Super Bowl berth with a 33-14 win. Tennessee went on to Super Bowl XXXIV and eventually fell at the hands of the St. Louis Rams, 23-16. The Jaguars played their first game in franchise history against the then-Houston Oilers on Sept. 3, 1995. Playing in Jacksonville, the Oilers won the game by a 10-3 final score. TITANS-JAGUARS: THE LAST MEETING Tennessee Titans 19 at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 24 Sunday, Nov. 25, 2012 EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Fla. 1 2 3 4 Final Tennessee Titans 3 3 3 10 19 Jacksonville Jaguars 7 0 7 10 24 CLICK FOR: VIDEO | PLAY-BY-PLAY | QUOTES In Week 12, Chad Henne passed for 261 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns, leading the Jaguars to a 24-19 victory over the Titans at EverBank Field. Henne was sacked seven times and intercepted on his first drop-back of the game. However, it was the Jaguars defense which came up with two late takeaways to seal the Titans’ fate. After the Titans cut the Jaguars’ lead to 21-19 with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Titans defense forced a three-and-out. But two plays into the subsequent series, quarterback Jake Locker was intercepted by safety Dwight Lowery on a tipped pass (linebacker Russell Allen) that was intended for tight end Jared Cook. Taking possession with 2:40 on the clock, the Jaguars ran the ball and forced the Titans to spend their remaining two timeouts. Josh Scobee then made a 41-yard field goal with 24 seconds remaining, and Locker’s desperation heave as time expired was intercepted by safety Chris Harris. Locker completed 23 of 40 passes on the day for 261 yards and a touchdown, and he added 21 yards on the ground. Chris Johnson rushed 21 times for 80 yards. But the Titans only got inside Jacksonville’s 20-yard line twice and routinely were forced to settle for field goals by Rob Bironas, who made four of five attempts. The Titans forced their only turnover early, leading to the game’s first score. On Jacksonville’s initial play from scrimmage, Henne’s pass was tipped by defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks and then intercepted by cornerback Alterraun Verner. Four plays later, Bironas booted a 38-yarder. The Jaguars took the lead on their third series and would never trail again. They drove 75 yards on 12 plays, finalized by a one-yard touchdown run by Rashad Jennings. After Bironas made a 40-yard field goal at the end of the first half, the two clubs exchanged long scoring drives in the third quarter. The Jaguars extended their lead when, on a third-and-seven play, Henne connected with Cecil Shorts on a 59-yard touchdown pass. The Titans responded with a 12-play, 64-yard scoring drive, highlighted by a 15-yard catch by tight end Cook on third-and-14 and a 27-yard reception by wide receiver Damian Williams. Bironas capped the series with a 39-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, Locker led the Titans on a 10-play, 72-yard march, but once again, they were forced to settle for a field goal, this time from 33 yards. With the Jaguars’ lead cut to two points, Henne engineered an 80-yard drive that ultimately would be the difference in the game. A 15-yard roughing-the-passer penalty was tacked on to a 23-yard reception by Shorts, and then Justin Blackmon’s 23-yard catch put them inside the 10-yard line. Two plays later, Henne and Blackmon connected for a seven-yard score. The Titans’ ensuing drive was their most productive of the game, with Locker going five-for-five. Chris Johnson ran for 31 yards, and on the next play, Kenny Britt hauled in a six-yard touchdown pass from Locker. However, it would be the final threat of the game by the Titans, as each of their final two possessions would end with interceptions.
