Heh. 'Terrible Towelgate'.
Here we go, locking down home-field playoff advantage. The path to the AFC Championship goes through LP Field. All we have to do is win.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans wanted to head into the playoffs with a little momentum. Thanks to a dominating performance Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they'll have much more than that.
Kerry Collins threw for one touchdown, and Chris Johnson and LenDale White each ran for a score as the Titans routed the Steelers 31-14 in a showdown of the AFC's best teams. Tennessee clinched the conference's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Here's the pics.
You have to wonder just what Vince Young is thinking, here..
The place was heavily infested with Steelers fans. Dunno where they came from; this was way worse than the Colts or Jets games fan infestations. The terrible towels were everywhere.I'm saying that some of the Titans' ticket holders were major twatwaffles for selling their tickets to Steelers fans...because of the cold? Freakin' sissies. The cheerleaders were out there with bare skin, exposed; you didn't see them selling out their spots to their Pittsburgh couterparts, now did you?
Halftime stats were great! The score, that is.
Before the game, I read that the Steelers' defense was the best since the '70's 'Steel Curtain' days. Some wag actually proclaimed "Steel Curtain II" for this version. Whatever...they may have held down the Titans' rushing and passing yardages, but they couldn't stop Lendale White and Chris Johnson from each scoring a TD, now could they?"Steel Rusted Curtain", more like it.
Justin Gage tackled by an airborne Ryan Clark.
Must be cold without a hat. That hair isn't helping much.
What the? If it's not the 'terrible towel', it's the 'terrible cock cap head'?
Lendale White's 1 yard rushing TD starts the 4th Quarter.
The Titans' lovely and gracious (and frozen stiff, especially that exposed skin) cheerleaders, bearing gifts.
They're hoping those presents are thermal underwear, I'll bet..
Chris Johnson here in the 4th, catching a seam that would've given him 7 yards to the 50, had a penalty not been called on Brandon Jones for holding. No play. Chris did rush for a total 69 yards and one TD.
Lendale White drove for 30 total yards in the Titan's final drive, chewing 4 minutes off the clock...consuming all three of the Steelers' time outs. In all, Lendale rushed for 48 total years and a TD.
This interception return by Michael Griffin for 32 yards was the final bit of humility dealt to the Steelers. The towels were finally hidden away.
The faithful from both sides knelt for prayer in the center of the field, after the game. As follows every game.
But not so fast! Keith Bullock and Lendale White stirred up some controversy by stomping on one of those 'Steelers Terrible Towels', getting ex-Steelers coach Cowher (now working the booth) stirred up. Here's a video some wag put out, giving a less than nuanced opinion about "Terrible Towelgate" and what the Steelers fan could do with 'em.
As I said, less than nuanced. NSFW; because of foul mouthiness.
We'll probably cross paths with the Pittsburgh Steelers again. Here, in our house.
Leave the stinkin' towels at home, bitches.
