DEFENSE ALLOWS ONLY 15 FIRST DOWNS: For the second time in three games, the Titans limited an opponent to only 15 first downs, tying for the second-lowest allowed by the team in 2017.  The defense gave up 12 first downs at the Miami Dolphins (Oct. 8) and 15 first downs against the Cincinnati Bengals (Nov. 12).

FIRST-DRIVE SCORING: The Titans' first possession was an 11-play, 53-yard drive that took more than six minutes.  It ended with a field goal by Ryan Succop and marked the sixth time in 11 games in 2017 the Titans scored on their opening drive.  They have four field goals and two touchdowns on those six occasions.

WALKER'S SIXTH SEASON WITH 50 CATCHES: On his first reception of the game, a 14-yarder, tight end Delanie Walker became the sixth player in franchise history to record 50 receptions in at least five different seasons and only the fifth to do so in five consecutive seasons.  Other than Walker, the only players in franchise history with five consecutive 50-catch seasons are Ernest Givins (1986-1993), Frank Wycheck (1996-2001), Haywood Jeffires (1990-1995) and Derrick Mason (2000-2004).

FOURTH-QUARTER COMEBACK AND GAME-WINNING DRIVE: After his team trailed 16-13 entering the fourth quarter, Marcus Mariota led a fourth-quarter comeback for the seventh time in his three-year career.  He led a nine-play, 77-yard drive that culminated with DeMarco Murray's one-yard, go-ahead touchdown.  During the series, Mariota completed two of three passes for 29 yards, including a key 19-yard strike to wide receiver Corey Davis.  Mariota earned his eighth career game-winning drive and his fourth of 2017.  He previously was credited with game-winning drives at home against the Colts (Oct. 16), at the Cleveland Browns (Oct. 22) and against the Cincinnati Bengals (Nov. 12).
