Tennessee Titans will look to become first team seeded at . 6 to make it to Super Bowl since Green Bay Packers back in 2010. Having beaten Tom Brady's Patriots in Wild Card round, few expected Titans to make it past Divisional Round. mighty Baltimore Ravens, with ir imposing 14-2 record, stood in way. MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson set record books ablaze over course of season. Titans, however, had an excellent gameplan for Ravens star. Jackson was restricted to running laterally against Titans, which restricted impact he had on night. While he did rush for 143 yards, a majority of those yards came through pass plays. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees and head coach Mike Vrabel must be credited for that.

Head coach Andy Reid, refore, will have to take a p out of Mike Vrabel's book to stop Derrick Henry, way Titans stopped Lamar Jackson earlier this month.
