Shonn Greene led the way with 91 yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts, while Chris Johnson had 90 yards on 22 carries. The 182 yards made up the second-highest total of the season (198 on Nov. 3 at St. Louis). The 44 attempts were the most by the team in any game since recording 49 against the Jaguars on Nov. 11, 2009. SECOND-HALF DEFENSE: In the second half, the Titans defense limited the Jaguars offense to 85 total yards, 36 rushing yards and five total first downs. The Jaguars only converted on one third down in six attempts in the final two quarters. LOW PENALTY NUMBERS:The Titans were penalized only one time against the Jaguars for four yards, recording their best numbers of the season and the best since a zero-penalty outing against Jacksonville on Dec. 24, 2011. In the last two weeks, including their efforts against the Jaguars and the Arizona Cardinals, the Titans have been penalized a total of four times for 20 yards.
TIME OF POSSESSION WIN: For the ninth time this season, the Titans recorded a time of possession of 30 minutes or more. They held the ball for 35 minutes and 39 seconds at Jacksonville, their second-best total of the season (35:48 at Oakland on Nov. 24).
FOURTH DOWN: The Titans and Jaguars totaled a combined season-high seven fourth-down attempts. The Titans attempted four and converted three of them. Two of their conversions came on scoring drives, including a four-yard run by Shonn Greene on fourth-and-one, which led to a second-quarter field goal, and a three-yard run by Ryan Fitzpatrick on fourth-and-two. The latter preceded the game-winning fourth-quarter touchdown.

In the third quarter, he set a season long with a 29-yard run to set up first-and-goal from the five-yard line.

It was the first blocked extra point of Pollard's career and the Titans' first blocked PAT since Michael Griffin blocked one against Jacksonville on Nov. 1, 2009. Pollard, and eight-year veteran, has two career blocked field goals, including one for the Titans in 2013 (Sept. 22 against San Diego).

BIRONAS OVER 100 AGAIN: With a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter, Rob Bironas went over the 100-point mark for the seventh consecutive season, the most consecutive triple-digit scoring seasons in franchise history and the second-highest total in team annals. The only player with more was kicker Al Del Greco, who had 100 or more points eight times: 1992, 1993, and 1995 through 2000.
SACK FOR WIMBLEY: In the first half, defensive end Kamerion Wimbley was credited with his third sack of the season, dropping Chad Henne for a four-year loss. The play gave Wimbley 51.5 career sacks.
FIRST-DRIVE SUCCESS: For the eighth time in 2013 and for the fifth time in their last six games, the Titans scored on their opening possession of the game. At Jacksonville, Rob Bironas booted a 45-yard field goal to cap their first drive. In the last 10 seasons, the only Titans squad with as many first-drive scores was the 2012 team, which also had eight-such drives.
