NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Go ahead and pick against the Tennessee Titans. Count them out against the New England Patriots or call them the ugliest team left in the NFL playoffs.
A franchise only two years removed from the NFL's worst record over a two-season stretch cares only about winning.
"Our guys kind of like that role," Titans coach Mike Mularkey said of being underdogs. "Again, this is not a flashy team. It's not sexy. It's just a blue collar, come to work, see what happens when you do and see ... everybody compete for 60 minutes, see what the outcome is going to come.
