The Titans are also coming off a game when they committed 12 penalties for 93 yards. The Titans are rank second in the NFL in penalties, with 100 on the season. The team ranks fifth in the NFL in penalty yards, with 758 yards through 12 games. The Titans have also made a number of blunders in the return game, turning the ball over. This week, Coach Brian Callahan mentioned Mason Kinsey as a possibility to replace Jha'Quan Jackson on punts, but he wasn't ready to announce an official move after practice on Friday. If the change is in fact made, will it cure some of the recent woes there? Stay tuned. This much is certain: The Titans need to clean up their mistakes to enhance their chances of winning.

Importance of Week 14

Callahan said before the Washington game his team wasn't dead yet. Now at 3-9, let's face it, things aren't looking good. The Titans haven't been eliminated from playoff contention yet, but it's close. On Sunday, the Titans are a 3 ½-point favorite over the Jaguars. Another nugget: The Titans are 19-6 against the Jaguars at home since 1999. Tennessee is looking to become the fourth team with 20 or more home wins against an opponent since 1999, joining the Packers (20 vs Lions), Vikings (20 vs Lions) and Steelers (23 vs Browns). For draft fans, this is a stat I'll now start to include: The Titans are currently projected to hold the eighth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, while the Jaguars are protected to hold the third overall pick. The outcome of Sunday's game will change things.
