Titans streak to continue
November 4, 2008
We like the Tennessee Titan's chances of keeping their undefeated NFL season alive in Chicago this weekend.
The Chicago Bears (5-3) have won two games in a row, but fans watched in horror as up and coming quarterback Kyle Orton was injured on Sunday and the team failed to cover the 12.5 point spread.
Orton injured his right ankle in the first half after completing 8 of 14 passes for 108 yards.
Meanwhile the Tennessee Titans (8-0) had their closest call of the season on Sunday against the Packers, but managed to keep their perfect record intact heading into Chicago.
The Titans beat the Green Bay Packers 19-16 in overtime on Rob Bironas’ 41-yard field goal and saw ‘lightning and thunder’ running backs Chris Johnson and LenDale White rush for 89 and 77 yards respectively with Johnson adding a 3-yard touchdown run.
Backup quarterback Rex Grossman wil once again replace Orton, after going 9-for-19 for just 58 yards with one touchdown and one interception against Detroit. He scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with just under six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
