 with the win the Titans are the AFC South champions. Watson under pressure fires down Phil. Pass intercepted. Right here, right now up for grass. Phil here, filter. Presented by Farm Bureau health plans. I am Lance Smith. This is the legend Eddie George. Eddie, are you still? It was an incredible game, man. What? It was... He was hoping for the best in terms of the win. Derek Henry, all of that. And everything and then some in the tail end, of course, with the kick. Oh my God. Oh my God. I got chills just watching our intro to that. Obviously, he's excited. I'm excited. He's excited the entire fan base Titans nation. You guys have been beautiful sitting in your reaction videos. We put this thing together. Check this out. So this is Sam Sloeman. He's been on the practice squad. And now it's the biggest moment of his young life. Right hash. 37 yards to win it. Snap. Sad. Sloeman's kick is up. His kick hits the upright. That is why we watch. That's why you play all the feels right there. Let's kick off the show and get into it. A lot to break down, Eddie. This game, as you said, had it all. Had it all. Had everything. Had everything. Let's do it. Eddie presented by course and fire and security. First down right off the top. Look, mission accomplished. I mean, just from a team perspective, we'll get into the players, but mission accomplished. Mission accomplished. And listen, at the beginning of every NFL season, you set your goals on winning your division. North, south, east, west, doesn't matter. That's what you came to do. The Titans accomplished that feat. AFC, South champions. Since 2008, it's a big feat. They're making the step in the right direction. Did it in dominating and exciting fashion, but they got the job done. Mission accomplished. Absolutely. You know, Rebels third year, 11 and five record. You know, clinch the fourth seed. It's like these are the things you set out to do. And to win a ball game. One ball game in the NFL is difficult. Yeah. 11 and when a championship is another thing. In this conference? In this conference. Because you saw it all came down to the last game of the year, waiting Indianapolis, waiting to see what was going to happen. So much happens during the course of a season. And typically it comes down to that very last game, that very last second, that very last kick for that to be determined. And kudos to our boys for making that happen. And to finish that, I will say, and we controlled it all the whole way. We didn't need help. It was always. That's what you want. Titans in control. All right, we're moving on to second down. A big reason we got that mission accomplished. The king was crowned again. There is your NFL rushing leader second year in a row, but this time he did it, hitting that 2k. Eddie, he needed 223 going into this game and he think, well, you know, he can do it, but that's a tall order. He got 250. Listen, man. Anytime you say I need 223 to get the rushing title, you think, oh, God, that's a strong feat to do, because you just don't wake up and say, I'm going to rush with 200 yards. No. But this man did it in three quarters now. He was on pace to break the single game rushing record as well as break the single season rushing record held by Eric Dickerson. Okay, so that's tough to get. So you have got to recognize just how difficult. I don't care if you're playing in high school, little league, junior high, college, to get 2,000 yards and then you need 223 to get it. That is tough to do as a running back. And the Texas knew it coming in. The Titans knew it coming in. You knew who's getting the ball. And guess what? They couldn't stop him. Yeah, no, they couldn't. I mean, you knew after you broke that first big touchdown, you thought, okay, we've got something here. And they just kept giving it to him. He just kept pounding that rock. It's what he does. We're going to talk more about Derek Henry's historic season that he had later on in the show, especially when you get your perspective on it. But we'll move on now to third down. Look, we talked about this. It wasn't easy. We've controlled everything. The Titans have been dominant. But this game, hey, through the first half, halfway through the third quarter by a few scores. But the Texans got the ball back. We gave them some short field. Henry had an unusual fumble. Listen, you know, the Texans are not a bad team. They could score points. They weren't very effective on defense, very inconsistent on defense. The five games that they lost, that they won, it's not indicative who they are. They're still individual rivals. A lot of bad blood there. So you can expect them to give it all they got. You see here, they're playing really hard. Fumble the ball. That led to a touchdown to Sean Watson. He's a pro bowler. Right. Like him, we love him. You know, he is the reason why they won. We're in a lot of these ball games, and he led them to that point. So again, you knew the Texans were going to come out and give it their best effort. They were trying to win a game. They're trying to save jobs going into next season. So when you have that type of desperation in the line, you're going to do the team's best. Whether you won four games, 11 games, nine games, two games, one, you're going to get that effort. No, I mean, hats off to the Texans for giving us, you know, their best. And, you know, playing to Sean Watson. It was tough right there at the end. All of a sudden, you know, we have to come from behind. And then of course, the thing that sealed it, how beautiful was the A.J. Brown reception. 18 seconds left on the clock. I tweeted the miracle was at 16 seconds left on the clock. That's right. This is 18 seconds. And Tana Hill says, well, let's just try this out. Throw up, throw up the Hail Mary, and he takes the top off the defense. And again, how the coverage somehow. Were you shocked? There was no safety. I was shocked that there was the safety back there. Like the plan like cover three or I'm like, man, how can you let A.J. Brown of all receivers get on top of you? But I'm glad they did. Yeah. Yeah. A.J. Henry. And then of course, fourth down, he gets one down all himself. Sam Sloman on the practice squad in November. Guys on the team didn't know who he was. I think Kevin Byer thought he was a scout. And this doink to the inside. Inside. I mean, you go from, oh no. Oh my God. He won. AC champions. AC South champions. I'm like, oh man. And slow man, you know, it's a great story. It's, I mean, somebody's going to make a movie out of this. Yeah. You have to. 23 years old. 23 years old kicks the winning field goal. He's never had a game winning opportunity like that. And to do it is like all the pressure on you. Romeo. I see him. He has to kick it again. I mean, what a story. You could watch this game over and over and over again. Obviously I have. Anyway, great game, great win. AFC South champions. Never satisfied baby. We will talk about this some more. We got lots more to talk about, but you know, 15 minutes can save you 15% more on your car insurance. With that, we'll go to break with our guy. Go fast. 15 stick around. Titans Blitz will be right back. Let's go. Go Blitz lounge. Gonna give Henry a turn. 45-40, 35-30, 25-20, 15, 10, 5, 52-8. Gives Henry. Henry charging forward. History. Look who's still here. Those boys from Tennessee. They said we couldn't do it. You hear that? It just got pretty damn fine. So down. He's got it. Tell us to quit. Back to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plan's Lance and Eddie back with you half time here on the show. We recently played one of our favorite in stadium games with one of our season ticket members. Pretty well. Wish you. Yeah, check it out. I am hanging out on the line with Titans fans. Suzanne, how you doing? Good. How are you? I am great. You ready to win some prizes here? I am. I'm ready. Have you seen me play Academy Sports before? I have. I have. My favorite.

The Scrainer basket fits in the pot during cooking to help you lift food in and out of hot water safely. Includes a lid, hanger, and stand. All right, Suzanne. So you've seen the item. You got a good price in mind? I think so. All right. All right. I'll tell you if you need to go higher or lower, we'll guess one price at a time. If you get close to the end, though, and you know you're going in the right direction, we'll be rattling off those numbers. Okay. Here we go. Three, two, one, guess. 200. Lower. 150. Lower. 100. Higher. 120. Higher. 130. Lower. 121, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. She must have played this game before. Congratulations, Suzanne. All right. You won $129. You've got $100 gift card Academy Sports and Outdoors. Question is, though, are you going to go get a crawfish kit strainer thing or some Titan's gear? Be honest. Titan's gear, of course. Of course. That's what I like to hear. All right. Let me hear it. I got to hear the Titan up before you go. Titan up. Nice. There we go. There we go, Suzanne. Hey, you're with us now. Congratulations again on the win. Have you, did you get to Titan's gear yet? I'm waiting. I'm hoping to get some play off gear. Ah, very nice. Very nice. Yes. Never satisfied. Never satisfied? That's right. I love that. Hey, before we go, Suzanne, what about a prediction for the game this weekend since you're so good with numbers, obviously? Throwing some numbers out for the score. Oh. I think it's going to be close, but I've got the Titans. I'm hoping maybe 2017. Low scoring. 2017 Titan. 2017? All right. I like the way you're thinking. Defense is showing up. Well, thank you for playing Suzanne. I like that. We'll talk about the game on the other side. Absolutely. You ready for this? We've got to break down the rat birds as we call them. So stick around. Titans Blitz will be right back. I like that. Rat birds. Very nice. Nasty rat birds. They are ready in the Blitz lounge. We're ready here. Welcome back to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Lance and Eddie back with you. It is the two minute warning here on the show. So we've got to break down the game. We've got to break down the game. So we've got to break down this home playoff game. I just love the way that sounds. Sounds good. Sounds good. Any time you can play a home playoff game, it's the greatest. It is. Absolutely the best. It is. And so the game starts. The lucky fans that will be in attendance. Yeah, I know. So first key here. Key to victory. Look, our defense has shown up at the right times. Obviously to give us 11 and 5. But I think the best defense in this is a good offense. And I think 40 is the magic number again. Because they can move the ball. They are now the number one running team. Yeah. And they caught fire as soon as the last time we played them. Right. That's they haven't lost the game system. 5 and 0 coming into the playoffs. Coming in with a ton of momentum. And to think that, you know, we're going to magically stop a team that's on fire right now. Yeah. It's going to be first to 40. Yeah. And we've got to be the first to 40. Yeah. And we have the office meeting. It's like we can put up the points when we need them. So, hey, I'm saying 40 is the magic number and second here. I'm going to say, look, hey, you know, we found some pretty sweet QB pressure in this Texans game. Hats off to the secondary for giving the guys time to get back there. We weren't, you know, blitzing a ton. But we found ways to get to Watson in this game. And I think it's the same here. I would rather flush Jackson out in the open and let our speedy line backers handle it. But we were talking before the show started. Your key, though. My key is you've got to stop J.K. Dobbins. The rookie. The rookie out of the Ohio State University. But hopefully he won't have that great game that he's hoping for. Yeah. He makes everything go since they really started committing to him as that guy. He does so many different things in the passing game. I just received out the backfield. He's dynamic. He can hit the home run much like Derek Kennedy, but this is a different package. They must stop him. Listen. Mark Jackson is going to make plays. He's going to throw the ball all over the yard. He's going to run. He's going to do some spectacular things. But where Baltimore got in trouble was when they got inside the red zone, they could not score it. He can fill goals. Now J.K. Dobbins gives them the element they can score. Yeah. Hand the ball over to seven. He can score points. It can be trouble. So that's they've got to stop twenty seven contain him. If they don't do that, it could be, you know, a long scoring game for both teams. I found it interesting to see the team in football until they met us in the playoffs. And we shut them down. And then after that, that was sort of the blueprint for this, for beating this team. So other teams take advantage of that. But like you said, since we last beat them, they have found their mojo again and they figured out how to, you know, do what they do and do it well. We beat them again, of course, this season went to overtime. How difficult is it to own a team three times in a row, like especially this team? Well, we did it with Jacksonville back in the day. Yeah. This rivalry is such an intense rivalry. It's very emotional. As of right now, they have really, the Titans have owned the Ravens. But it's different circumstances. So it's going to be difficult because they're coming in seething at the bit. They remember last year. They remember earlier this year. And they feel like they got to get over the hump against this team. So they're going to come with some different motivation. Titans fans have such memories of Baltimore coming to town for a playoff game. But it's a new chapter. It's a new, it's a new era. It's a new era. Absolutely. I'm excited about this. This is, this is what, this is football right here. Baltimore Ravens coming to our house. We'll take care of business. We'll talk more about it on the other side. We'll also talk about King Henry and his big, big season stick around. Hell with King, hell with King. Titans Blitz will be right back. They're excited. We got a playoff game coming to our house. That's why welcome back to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Lance and Eddie back with you. It's overtime here on the show. We've been talking about it all week. All during the show. Derrick Henry. Two thousand and twenty-seven yards in one season. You like that twenty-seven. I do like that twenty-seven. Nice. I like it too. He has also, this is a crazy stat. He is the first player in football history, football history to hit 2K at all levels. High school, college and pro. That is, that is remarkable. I mean, if you go back and look at his high school stats, his, his worst game is a hundred and eighty-nine yards. His worst game? His worst game. Wow. His best game was five, ten. Another one was four, sixty-nine. Of course, we know what he did in Alabama. And the trend just continues. Of course, I mean, he could have had three hundred yards last weekend against the Texans. And he's just, that's amazing. If you're the only man in football, that's what stuff is, that's the stuff legends are made of. Two thousand yards. You would think the man will slow down at some point, but he just keeps getting better. He does. And better. He's still peaking. Yeah, yeah. Still peaking. Yeah. Well, and so my point in bringing all this up, obviously, it's worth talking about it. You don't see this. He's the eighth player in NFL history to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark. And is he not automatically MVP? What does this say to the position? To you, sir, one of the greatest people that ever played the position? It hurts because running backs don't get the respect that they deserve. I mean, they're in this position because of Derek Henry. Most valuable player. I think that if he were to do this in New York, if he's in Chicago or LA, there'll be more fanfare around that. Okay. But unfortunately, they don't view the running back as valuable as they once did. Yeah. But the only way that he can do it, he's got to do it with the Lombardi trophy. That's the last thing that he has to accomplish. Yeah. If he does that, then they all have to say, hell, king. King Henry. King Henry, no doubt. It was an impressive season. Yes, it was. And it's crazy to think that he was the league-leading rusher last year with just over 1,500 and then does it again with two... I mean, he just keeps going. Hats off to the line, the team, what a regular season. All right. Well, hey, playoff game this Sunday. Never satisfied. We'll keep saying it. Thank you to the fans. What a season this has been so far. We'll keep going. We'll see you next week. Right? Next week. Next week. No doubt. That's how we're doing. Got to see. Tighten up, y'all. We'll see you soon. Here at Blitz Lounge. Man.
