Why Titans must avoid 0-2 start vs. Texans Sunday


The Tennessee Titans entered the season with a brand new coaching staff and a wide array of promising new players.

The mentality heading into the season was that the team was ready to take the next step into becoming consistent contenders in the postseason. But the Titans couldn’t even snag a win from an unimpressive Miami team, losing 27-20 in an ugly way. And now they face a game against a solid division rival that may set the tune for the rest of their season.

Both the Titans and the Texans are going into the game looking to avoid 0-2. There are still 15 games to be played after this one is in the books, but there’s also a curious statistic to take into consideration.

According to Oddsshark.com, 91 teams have opened their seasons with an 0-2 record. Just 10 of those teams have achieved a playoff berth, causing reason for worry if the Titans are to open their season with such a record.

Not to mention that the AFC South is a fiercely competitive division that will make fighting out of an 0-2 hole hard to do.

The reality is the Titans have to play better than they did last weekend in Miami to avoid a winless record. Now, even more so with the loss of several key players.

With left tackle Taylor Lewan ruled out Friday and quarterback Marcus Mariota still banged up, the Titans face long odds.

But with a home-field advantage and a need to bounce back, the Titans have the momentum they need to bounce back Sunday.
