The Tennessee Titans hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars at Nissan Stadium in Week 10 divisional action on Sunday. It was a struggle from the start, with the Jaguars marching down the field on the opening drive to score a touchdown. The Titans answered with a field goal, and that's pretty much how the rest of the game went.
Ultimately, the Titans fell, 40-23, when all was said and done.
Divisional matchups are always difficult, and it was another week where kicker Joey Slye kept them in the game, even landing a huge hit that caused the Jaguars to fumble the ball in the second half. The Jags recovered it, but it drove some energy into the Titans as a whole.
There was one skill player who stood out above the rest, though, and while Slye was in consideration
for Player of the Game, we decided to give the honors to running back Tony Pollard.
Pollard rushed nine times for 33 yards, but his impact was bigger on the receiving end, where he recorded eight catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. He continuously found a way to get open for Cam Ward to dump the ball off to when the receivers were well covered downfield, and he came through at key moments in the game.
On Pollard's longest run of 15 yards, he had almost the entire Titans' offense around him, pushing him forward to continue gaining yards well past the first-down marker. His longest reception was 32 yards, most of which came after the catch, and ended with his touchdown.

During a game where the Titans were unable to get ahead and take the lead, Tony Pollard managed to keep the team afloat and relevant. It felt like they had a chance all the way until they turned it over on downs with just over three minutes left in the game. They couldn't pull out a win in the end, but Pollard was a bright spot in the loss.
