The surging Patriots won their sixth game in a row, a hard-fought 36-13 win over the beat-up but resolute Tennessee Titans. A quick glance at the final score would lead you to believe that the Patriots cruised and crushed the undermanned Titans. But that wasn’t the case.
Mike Vrabel and the Titans had a simple solid game plan and they were hanging around until mid-way through the 4th quarter by simplifying things. The Titans tried to play smash-mouth football by running the ball behind a very good offensive line, taking away the run, and hanging close into the fourth quarter.
