		Steve McNair continues to be plagued by injuries; Eddie George is no longer a dominating running back; the secondary improved, but is still the weakest part of their defense; and without a big play receiver, the passing game struggled.
		The running game sets up the Titans passing game, and Steve McNair is very good with the play-action pass.
		Their game plan will be to control the clock, to pound the ball between the tackles and keep Gannon, Rice and Brown off the field.

		If you look at the final stats from the game it was a pretty evenly played game, with both teams putting up about the same kind of offensive numbers.
		You just donât see that happen with these Patriotsâ players that often, but given that this was a Championship Game and the Steelers had been the team that had beaten them so badly to end their winning streak back in October I could understand why they were so fired up.
		Iâve been around the game for a long time, and I donât know how he does it year-in and year-out with all the changes in personnel, the injuries they suffered, and the changes in the coaching staff.

		Regardless of what the NFL rule book states, the controversial play near the end of the New England Patriots' 16-13 overtime victory over the Oakland Raiders in their AFC divisional playoff game Saturday night was a fumble by any reasonable person's standards.
		No game has ever been decided by a single call, just as no game has ever been won or lost on a single pass, pitch or tackle.
		There are a dozen developments on every play of every game in every sport -- a blown coverage, a late jump on a fly ball, a slow defensive rotation -- that affect the outcome of a contest.
