Kinda messed up.....

cause two weeks in a row for the texans, kickers have saved the team. I have a feeling this week could end up like those two games with Bironas making long field goals.

I just realized something.

My last game last year was the Texans win.

My first (and probably only) game this year is going to be against the Texans.

I’ve never seen the Titans lose to the Texans in person.

I’m good luck.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"
