FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 5, 2019 TITANS-RAIDERS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES HENRY CAN MATCH CAMPBELL IN CONSECUTIVE 145-YARD RUSHING EFFORTS: In his last three games, Titans running back Derrick Henry has rushed for 188 yards, 159 yards and 149 yards, respectively. His 496 total yards and five rushing touchdowns are the most in the NFL during that time. Last week at Indianapolis, Henry joined Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson, O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson as the only players in NFL history with at least 145 rushing yards and a touchdown in three consecutive games. No player has ever reached those numbers in four consecutive contests. Additionally, with 145 rushing yards this week, Henry will join former Oilers running back Earl Campbell as the only NFL players with four consecutive 145-yard rushing performances. Campbell accomplished the feat in 1980. Most consecutive individual NFL games with 145 or more rushing yards: Player Team Season(s) Games 1. Earl Campbell Houston Oilers 1980 4 2.

Simpson Buffalo Bills 1976 3 Jim Brown Cleveland Browns 1958 3 THRESHOLD FOR RUSHING AVERAGE RECORD IN SIGHT FOR HENRY: During his four-year career, Derrick Henry has accumulated 3,433 yards on 733 rushing attempts for an average of 4.68 yards per attempt. With 17 more rushing attempts, Henry will reach the minimum number of carries—750—needed to qualify for franchise and NFL career average records. With his current rushing average, he would take over the top spot in team annals. Currently, Chris Johnson is the franchise’s all-time leader in career rushing average. He rushed for 4.57 yards per carry from 2008–2013, totaling 7,965 yards on 1,742 career rushing attempts. There are seven players in franchise history with enough carries to qualify.

He has rushed for 13,960 yards on 2,972 carries for a 4.70-yard average. Henry’s current 4.68-yard average would be next on the list if he met the minimum- attempt threshold.

LANDRY COULD BECOME TEAM’S FIRST SINCE KEARSE WITH SIX-GAME SACK STREAK: Titans second-year outside linebacker Harold Landry III has been a consistent presence for the defense this season. He has started all 12 games and has tallied at least one sack in eight games, including one sack in each of the last five contests. Landry’s sack streak is the team’s longest since outside linebacker Brian Orakpo had five straight games with a sack in 2016. With one or more sacks this week, Landry would have the team’s longest such streak since Jevon Kearse’s six-game run in 2003. It would tie for the fourth-longest streak in the organization’s history. Most consecutive games with one or more sacks, franchise history: Player Season(s) Games 1. Jevon Kearse 1999 8 Curley Culp 1974-75 8 3. Sean Jones 1990 7 4. Jevon Kearse 2003 6 Jesse Baker 1979 6 Jesse Baker 1981-82 6 7. Harold Landry III 2019 5 Brian Orakpo 2016 5 Sean Jones 1992 5 William Fuller 1991 5 Landry, who is tied for third place in the AFC with nine sacks in 2019, has the NFL’s second-longest active sack streak heading into week 14. Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt enters the week with a six-game streak. In addition to Watt and Landry, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Justin Houston, Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Clay Matthews and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald are the only other players this season with a five-game sack streak. Most consecutive games with one or more sacks in 2019: Player Team Games 1. T.J. Watt Pittsburgh Steelers 6 (active) Justin Houston Indianapolis Colts 6 Clay Matthews Los Angeles Rams 6 4. Harold Landry Tennessee Titans 5 (active) Aaron Donald Los Angeles Rams 5 6. (five tied) 4 TITANS LEADING IN YARDS PER PLAY SINCE WEEK 7; RAIDERS NOT FAR BEHIND: The Titans have fielded one of the NFL’s hottest offenses since Week 7, when they beat the Los Angeles Chargers for their first of five victories in a six-game stretch. In their past six games (seven weeks), the Titans are averaging 6.49 yards per play to lead the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens are next on the list at 6.39 yards per play, followed by the Dallas Cowboys (6.28) and the Titans’ opponent this week, the Oakland Raiders (6.02). The Titans’ 2,214 total offensive yards since Oct. 20 include 888 rushing yards and 1,326 passing yards. During the seven weeks, they rank second in the NFL in yards per rushing attempt (5.55) and sixth in yards per passing play (7.33). Most yards per play, Weeks 7-13 (Oct. 17–present): Team Tot Yards Plays Yards Per Play 1. Tennessee Titans 2,214 341 6.49 2. Baltimore Ravens 2,345 367 6.39 3. Dallas Cowboys 2,530 403 6.28 4. Oakland Raiders 2,516 418 6.02 5. Minnesota Vikings 2,285 383 5.97 6. New Orleans Saints 2,269 381 5.96 7. Los Angeles Rams 2,210 376 5.88 8. Los Angeles Chargers 2,150 370 5.81 Detroit Lions 2,678 461 5.81 10. Houston Texans 2,093 362 5.78 TITANS OUTSCORING ALL OTHERS IN SECOND HALF IN RECENT WEEKS: Another key factor in Tennessee winning five of its last six games is the team’s scoring proficiency in the second half of games. Against the Colts last week, the Titans trailed 10-7 at halftime before scoring 24 points in the second half to win 31-17. That was one week after tallying 35 total points in the third and fourth quarters against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In their six games from Week 7 through Week 13, the Titans scored 124 points in the second half, averaging a league-high 20.7 points per second half. Most points per game in the second half, Weeks 7-13: 2nd Half 2nd Half Team Points Points/Game 1. Tennessee Titans 124 20.7 2. Baltimore Ravens 105 17.5 3. Minnesota Vikings 91 15.2 4. New Orleans Saints 88 14.7 5. Kansas City Chiefs 85 14.2 6. San Francisco 49ers 97 13.9 7. Green Bay Packers 81 13.5 8. Houston Texans 79 13.2 9. Seattle Seahawks 78 13.0 10. Chicago Bears 86 12.3 SUCCOP ONE FIELD GOAL FROM SOLE OWNERSHIP OF THIRD PLACE IN TEAM HISTORY: Ryan Succop’s 31-yard field goal last week was his 117th successful field goal since joining the Titans in 2014. He tied former Oilers kickerTony Zendejas for third on the organization’s all-time field goals list. The next time he makes a field goal, Succop will move past Zendejas and trail only Al Del Greco (246) and Rob Bironas (239) on the club’s career leaderboard. Succop’s success rate of 84.8 percent on field goals with the Titans (117 of 138) trails only Bironas’ 85.7 percentage for the franchise.

(December 11, 2003) – In its 19th year of honoring the nation’s elite high school athletes, Gatorade® Thirst Quencher, in partnership with Scholastic Coach & Athletic Director magazine, today announced Jeff Byers of Loveland High School in Loveland, Colo., as the 2003 Gatorade National High School Football Player of the Year. The award, which recognizes athletic achievement as well as the academic performance and overall character of its recipient, distinguishes Jeff as the nation’s best high school football player. The Gatorade National Advisory Board, a group of sportswriters and sport-specific experts from around the country, selected Jeff from the more than one million high school football players nationwide.

In addition, he racked up 10 sacks and forced 14 fumbles, one of which he returned 75 yards for a touchdown in Loveland’s 50-0 state semifinal victory. Jeff capped off his high school career by leading Loveland High School to the Colorado 4A state championship, the school’s sixth overall and its second during his four years on the varsity. “Jeff is the rare individual who can absolutely dominate the game as a lineman.

    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.
