It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t pretty, but the Tennessee Titans came out of Week 16 with their fourth-consecutive victory by beating the Washington Redskins 25-16 at home. With the win, the Titans improved to 9-6 and now temporarily hold the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC. They will need either the Baltimore Ravens or Pittsburgh Steelers to lose this weekend in order to set up a playoff-clinching elimination game next week against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium. There are other scenarios at play, as well.
The Titans came into this game piping hot, riding RB Derrick Henry to two straight wins and holding their previous two opponents to a combined nine points.
