Mike Vrabel announces that assistant HC and DL coach Terrell Williams will serve as Titans’ HC vs Bears on Saturday. Vrabel will be assisting. Great exposure for Williams down the road for potential HC candidacy:

If Derrick Henry runs for 71 yards and 2 TDs, he would be the first in the NFL to post 3 seasons of 1,500 yards rushing and 15 rushing TDs. He did it in 2019 and 2020.

This stat makes you go whoa: Since Dec. 6, 2018, Derrick Henry has more yards rushing than anyone else in the NFL by a long shot:

Ryan Tannehill, who turns 35 on Thursday, has a 100.7 passer rating since taking over as the Titans' starting QB in October 2019.
Among active QBs, that ties him for fourth-best in that span in the NFL.

Tannehill's job is to try to win games for the Titans, Pat O'Hara is the QB coach.
Tannehill stood up to a range of questions pretty well. One thing likely to draw scrutiny is that he said “I don’t think it’s my job to mentor” Malik Willis.
