Tennessee Titans 30, Jacksonville Jaguars 3
A knee injury limiting Vince Young to 11 plays didn't stop the Titans from dominating their AFC South rival...Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt and safety Michael Griffin continue to have hot hands.
Quarterback David Garrard's concussion pressed Trent Edwards into service on Monday night...Tight end Marcedes Lewis struggled under the lights, dropping a key third-down pass and fumbling inside the 10-yard line. (And turning my one-point fantasy football win into a one-point loss.)
