George gets 100 yards and a score
— -- NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans felt embarrassed and angry, and they were determined to get off to a better start in September. Steve McNair helped them do that in a big way Sunday.
| Allen's Analysis | |||
Offensively, the Saints are loaded with three good receivers, a great running back and a good quarterback. It's on defense where their problems are manifesting. They have serious secondary problems and they aren't getting a good rush on the passer. Until they get those two situations straightened out, they won't be a good football team. Question on the Titans: If Steve McNair and Eddie George are both clicking, is this the AFC's best team? |
Because of George's mounting carries and age, he really can't be counted on to help lead this team. It's McNair's team and if his receivers can come through, the Titans have a shot at being the best team in the AFC.
Eric Allen played cornerback for 14 NFL seasons with the Eagles, Saints and Raiders.
Game notes
New Orleans finished with 23 yards rushing, the fewest allowed by the Titans since Nov. 23, 1997, when the then-Tennessee Oilers held Buffalo to 4 yards rushing. ... TE Frank Wycheck was deactivated for a second straight week as he recovers from his second concussion in less than a month.
