The list of connections between the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans is a fairly long one.
And that shouldn’t serve as much of a surprise.
Heading into Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Nissan Stadium, Titans general manager Jon Robinson’s coaching staff includes fellow names from Patriots past ranging from head coach Mike Vrabel, to defensive coordinator Dean Pees, to inside linebackers coach Tyrone McKenzie.
Then there’s the Tennessee roster.
Five members of the 53 in Nashville once resided in Foxborough, and there is a sixth if accounting for the Titans’ practice squad.
Each of whom owns at least one Super Bowl ring from their respective Patriots tenures.
