NFL Network Encourages Fans to 'Remember the Titans' with TV Schedule Full of Titans Content on Thursday
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans aren't always treated as one of the NFL's darling franchises, but on Thursday the NFL has invited fans to "Remember the Titans" by playing some of the franchise's greatest games and documentaries focusing on the franchise's most legendary players.
The NFL will kick things off at 1pm ET with Titans vs. Bengals from Week 1 of 1999. A back and forth contest the Titans ultimately won 36-35, this game had the Titans blowing a huge first-half lead and coming from ten points down to win in the final moments. It also included a controversial booing of Steve McNair.
That will be followed up by a 2001 matchup between the Titans and their now-division rival Jacksonville Jaguars. This was a fantastic performance from McNair, who had four touchdowns on the day. He threw for two scores and ran for two. McNair took the Titans ahead with a rushing touchdown with less than a minute remaining for a 28-24 win.
Next on the schedule are two documentaries on what are likely the two greatest players in franchise history, McNair and Eddie George. Both of these programs will bring back fond memories for Titans fans as they chronicle the life and career of both players which include some of the best moments in franchise history.
Finally, we have the "Music City Miracle" game. Quite possibly the most popular game in Titans history, the wild card matchup against Buffalo from 1999 should be an incredibly enjoying watch for anyone except the people of Buffalo.
Personally for me, this was the moment an 8-year old boy decided to spend most of his waking hours the rest of his life thinking about the football team down in Nashville. Truly a franchise-defining moment and a great way to cap off a day all about the Tennessee Titans.
