The Tennessee Titans moved to 6-9 in their season with a comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their NFL clash.
The Titans began the game with a decent drive as they moved downfield through the arm of Ryan Fitzpatrick, but as they got near the endzone, they were halted and were forced to settle for a 45-yard-field goal from Rob Bironas.

Jacksonville responded and took the lead on their next drive as Chad Henne shifted them to the redzone with a series of accurate passes, including one to lineman Brad Meester, before he fired to Marcedes Lewis in the endzone on a fade route for a four-yard score.
Tennessee were stopped on the goalline by the Jags defense as they made an excellent stand to prevent Jackie Battle and then Shonn Greene from finding the endzone, but just before the break Bironas fired a 52-yarder.
However, the Jaguars got on the board again with seconds left in the half. Henne fired the ball to receiver Mike Brown, who ran into the endzone for a seven-yard score off a screen pass.
After half time, Josh Scobee extended his side's lead with a 36-yard field goal after a good drive from Henne was halted by the Titans defense.
Mike Munchak's side took hope from that and got back into the game with a one-yard score from Green as he powered his way into the endzone, finishing off a good series from his team's offense.
The Titans gained further confidence from that as they took the lead when Fitzpatrick fired deep down the left sideline for receiver Nate Washington, who made the grab uncovered and sprinted into the endzone for the 36-yard touchdown.
Jacksonville tried to rally late on, but Henne's pass downfield was intercepted by George Wilson to secure the Titans' win.
