FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 1, 2014 NASHVILLE — This week the Tennessee Titans (2-10) play host to the New York Giants (3-9). Kickoff at LP Field (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for noon CST on Sunday, Dec. 7. THE BROADCAST The game will be televised regionally on FOX, including Nashville affiliate WZTV FOX 17. Thom Brennaman will handle play-by-play duties, and David Diehl will serve as analyst. Laura Okmin will report from the sidelines. The Titans Radio Network, including Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone, will broadcast the game across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Frank Wycheck, gameday host Rhett Bryan and sideline reporter Jonathan Hutton. TITANS BEGIN FINAL QUARTER OF SEASON The Titans have four games in December to conclude their 2014 season, with three of the remain- ing contests to be played at home. They welcome the New York Jets to LP Field a week after hosting the Giants, followed by a trip to Jacksonville for a Thursday night matchup with the Jaguars. The season concludes at home versus the Indianapolis Colts. Last week, the Titans traveled to Houston to face the AFC South rival Texans. They fell behind 24-0 in the first half and were never able to catch up, ultimately losing by a final score of 45-21. It was their sixth consecutive loss. Rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger recorded his fifth career start but was unable to finish the contest. Through two-and-a-half quarters, he completed 13 of 19 passes for 184 yards, a touchdown and an interception. However, he was taken to the turf by J.J. Watt in the third quarter and suffered a right shoulder injury, ending his day. Mettenberger’s season passing totals stand at 93-of-155 for 1,287 yards, eight touchdowns and six interceptions. His 87.8 passer rating leads the four NFL rookie quarterbacks who have recorded at least one start this season, ahead of Minnesota’s Teddy Bridgewater (79.0), Oakland’s Derek Carr (74.4) and Jacksonville’s Blake Bortles (72.2). When Mettenberger left the game, Jake Locker entered to see his first action since Oct. 5. The Tex- ans maintained their control of the scoreboard with Locker in the game, victimizing the fourth-year signal caller on two interceptions. Locker did manage to complete a touchdown pass to Nate Washington, who reached career milestones of 400 receptions and 40 touchdown catches. Kendall Wright had the biggest day among Titans receivers, hauling in seven passes for 132 yards. He also became the only player for the franchise other than Ernest Givins to reach 50 receptions in each of his first three NFL seasons. The Titans offensive line was beset by injuries last week. The unit arrived in Houston down three starters from the previous week in Philadelphia: left tackle Taylor Lewan (inactive with an ankle injury), cen- ter Brian Schwenke (injured reserve/knee) and right tackle Michael Oher (did not play/toe). Will Svitek, Chris Spencer and Byron Stingily started in those spots, respectively. Then during the third quarter, right guard Chance Warmack went down briefly with an ankle injury and was replaced by the newly-signed Eric Olsen. THE GIANTS Having lost seven consecutive games, the Giants are tied with the Washington Redskins for third place in the NFC East. Last week they traveled to another AFC South opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and fell by a final score of 25-24. The Giants built a 21-0 lead in the first half, only to see the Jaguars storm back and ultimately win on a 43-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Tom Coughlin is in his 11th season as head coach of the Giants and his 19th NFL season as a head coach. The two-time Super Bowl Champion is second in Giants history for career wins by a head coach, trailing only Steve Owen. Giants quarterback Eli Manning was 24-of-34 passing for 247 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars. The 11th-year veteran reached the 3,000-yard passing mark for the 10th consecutive season in the loss. With more than 38,000 career passing yards, he is the franchise’s all-time leader in every major passing category. Additionally, his 163 consecutive starts make up the third-longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history, behind Brett Favre and Peyton Manning.

The Giants outgained the Titans by 200 yards (471 to 271), but the Titans intercepted two passes and recovered a Giants fumble to keep their opponents at bay. Two of the Titans’ takeaways came when they were backed up near their own end zone. The Giants contributed to their own woes with 11 penalties. TheTitansgotonthescoreboardfirst.

While five different Texans caught touchdown passes, Fitzpatrick’sprimary target was wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who set a franchise record with 238 receiving yards on nine receptions, including a pair of touchdowns. He had the most receiving yards against the Titans franchise since Oakland’s Art Powell had 247 yards versus the Oilers on Dec. 22, 1963. Meanwhile, Titans starting quarterback Zach Mettenberger was forced out of the game in the third quarter due to an injury. The rookie signal caller completed 13 of his 19 attempts for 184 yards, a touchdown andaninterception(95.1passerrating),butafterdeliveringawidereceiverscreen pass to Kendall Wright six minutes into the second half, he was taken to the ground by Texans defensive end J.J.

Already down three starting offensive linemen from thepreviousweek,theTitansbrieflylostguardChance Warmack and wide receiver Justin Hunter with injuries against the Texans. WattandtheTexansdefensecausedhavocthroughouttheafternoon.The unit forced four turnovers and notched three sacks while limiting the Titans toonly threeconversionsonnine third-downattempts. Wattwasresponsible for a forced fumble and recovery in addition to two sacks and several more quarterback hits and pressures. He even had an impact on offense, collecting a one-yard touchdown reception. TheTexansscoredthegame’sfirst24points,beginningwithan80-yard touchdown march on the game’s opening possession. After a 14-yard run by Fitzpatrick on fourth down, tight end Ryan Griffin got the scoring started with an eight-yard touchdown catch. TheTitans’firstpossessionwasendedabruptlyontheirsecondplay.Looking for Hunter, Mettenberger’s pass was intercepted by cornerback Johnathan Joseph, who returned the ball to Tennessee’s 20-yard line.

That led to a seven-yard touchdown pass from Fitzpatrick to running back Arian Foster. In the second quarter, Randy Bullock booted a 37-yard field goal,and the Texans added a touchdown late in the quarter on their biggest play of the day. Following a 12-yard pass interference penalty on the Titans, Fitzpatrick looked deep toHopkins,who beat the defense for a 58-yardscore. The Titans managed to close the gap temporarily in the third quarter. To begin the half, they went 80 yards on six plays, including consecutive receptions of 20 and 19 yards by Derek Hagan. Then, Mettenberger found Wrightfora36-yardtouchdownpass. Mettenberger attempted only two more passes. He left the game duringthenextdrive,andonLocker’sfirstpass,cornerbackJumal Rolle picked it off.

The play got the Titans within 10 points at 24-14, but that would be as close as they would come.

I really enjoyed our meeting on Friday night in San Diego and we share similar philosophies about the game. Additionally, we have several mutual colleagues that have spoken highly to me about Ken both as a coach and as a person. I am ex-cited about Ken joining us and the future of the Titans.”

Former Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (Jan. 14, 2014): “I thought he did a great job with us at Arizona. He brought honesty, integrity and consistency in his approach. It was enormous for us because we hadn’t won. He con-vinced us that we could win, that he had a plan and it will work. His biggest challenge was to convince us that we could do it. I consider him a players’ coach and I say that in a good way. He listens to players and takes their input. Now he may not always do what the players want if he doesn’t believe in it, but he has an open door. He also had a good pulse on the team and what we needed. His style also gave us ownership in the process, knowing that our voice could be heard, which was huge for us. It also helped the leaders on the team solidify those roles knowing we could have an impact with the coach. It helped the leaders be leaders. Offensively, what I loved about himwashis flexibility.Whenhegot toArizona, his background inPittsburgh was mostly two back/two tight end offense. But that wasn’t how wewerebuilt inArizona.HewasflexibletoideasandlearnedhowIsawthegameandfittheoffensetowhatwehad.Wewereabletodevelopanoffense that was one of the best in the NFL and that input from those in the offense gave them an ownership and buy-in that helped us as well.

I think he has grown a great deal in thelastfiveorsixyearsinhisoffensiveapproachandyouseethesuccesshe has had. I appreciate his consistency, especially when you see coaches change because of success or struggles. He is a man of integrity and never wavered from that. He says what he is going to do and follows through on that. As players, sometimes you might not agree with it, but you know where he stands and you can battle for guys like that.”

Former Steelers Head Coach/Current NFL on CBS Analyst Bill Cowher (Jan. 14, 2014): “He spent time with us (at the Steelers) as both a tight ends coach and offensive coordinator and he works great with players. He played the game and he was respected by the players for his knowledge. He also was innovative and creative but always sound in what he did. He would put players in a position to be successful and get the most out of them. It is important in the NFL to be able to create those situations for success, be-cause the challenges change on a weekly basis. I think it is a great hire by Tennessee. You look at what he did in Arizona and when he had stability at the quarterback position, he was very good. He will get the most out of the talent that they have there. I wish him nothing but the best.”

Former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis (Jan. 14, 2014): “First and foremost, Kenbelievesinold-fashionfootball.Whenyoulookattheplayoffsthisyearand you see the teams that are having success, they have the ability to run the football. The running game wins games and wins championships. Ken understands this. He also believes that a strong defense is a critical compo-nent to any championship team, it isn’t just about the offense. I believe he is a great hire.

That gives the Titans an NFL-high 16 seasons with a 1,000-yard rush-er from 1996 through the 2013 campaign.
