Tennessee Titans vs. Seattle Seahawks Series at a Glance

Seahawks_medium

The Seahawks lead the all-time series 9-5.  The last time these two met was this game in 2005.  We will call it the Ben Troupe game because he had 116 yards receiving.  That is nothing short of a miracle.  Jeff Fisher is 0-5 against the Seahawks. 

This game is obviously all about Chris Johnson and the records that he is chasing.  He needs 63 rushing yards to break Earl Campbell's franchise record for single season rushing yards, 75 yards from scrimmage to break Marshall Faulk's record, 128 rushing yards to get to 2,000, 128 rushing and 17 receiving to become the first player ever with 2,000 rushing and 500 receiving, and 234 to break Eric Dickerson's single season record.

The CBS broadcast will be handled by Ian Eagle and Rich Gannon.
