Ironic that the Titans head out to their own House of Horrors on Halloween. Here is a look at the series history between the Titans and Chargers:
- The Chargers lead the all-time series 24-16-1
- The Chargers have won the last 7
- The Titans are 5-15-1 all-time in San Diego
- The last meeting was Christmas last year. Click here if for some weird reason you want to remember that game.
- The last trip to San Diego, again if you really want to remember, was this game in the 2007 playoffs.
- Jeff Fisher is 0-6 against the Chargers. They are the only NFL team he has never beaten.
- Vince Young, who may or may not play, has also been really bad against the Chargers. Here are his numbers:
| Game | Comp | Att | % | Yds | TD | INT |
| 2006 | 7 | 20 | 35% | 106 | 1 | 0 |
| 2007 (RS) | 13 | 21 | 62% | 121 | 0 | 2 |
| 2007 (Playoffs) | 16 | 29 | 55% | 138 | 0 | 1 |
| 2009 | 8 | 21 | 38% | 89 | 0 | 2 |
| Totals | 44 | 91 | 48% | 454 | 1 | 5 |
Yeesh.
