Titans-Packers Supplemental Notes FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 24, 2020 TITANS-PACKERS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES TITANS QUARTET FLIRTING WITH RARE ACCOMPLISHMENT: With two games remaining in the regular season, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Derrick Henry, and wide receivers Corey Davis and A.J. Brown are on the verge of a rare statistical feat as a foursome. Soon they can make the Titans the NFL’s eighth team with a 3,500-yard passer, a 1,500-yard rusher and a pair of 1,000-yard receivers. Tannehill enters Week 16 with 3,482 passing yards, only 18 yards away from giving the team its fifth individual 3,500-yard passing campaign. Warren Moon reached the mark three times with the Oilers from 1989 to 1991 (3,631 yards, 4,689 yards and 4,690 yards, respectively). Matt Hasselbeck provided the franchise’s only other 3,500-yard passing season in 2011 (3,571). With 1,679 rushing yards, Henry leads the NFL and already has established a career high for rushing yards in a season. His total ranks fourth in team annals behind Chris Johnson’s 2,006 yards in 2009, Earl Campbell’s 1,934 yards in 1980, and Campbell’s 1,697 yards in 1979. Davis, who already has a career-high 945 receiving yards, is 55 yards from 1,000. Brown has 881 receiving yards, putting him 119 yards away from his second consecutive 1,000-yard season to begin his career. If they both hit the mark, they will be the franchise’s first receiving tandem with 1,000 yards in the same season since Drew Bennett (1,247) and Derrick Mason (1,168) in 2004. The last time an organization simultaneously produced a 3,500-yard passing season, a 1,500-yard rushing season and two 1,000-yard receiving seasons was 2006, when the St. Louis Rams ensemble of Marc Bulger (4,301 passing), Steven Jackson (1,528 rushing), and Isaac Bruce (1,098 receiving) and Torry Holt (1,188 receiving) teamed to do it. Teams in NFL history with a 3,500-yard passer, a 1,500-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in a season: Team Season 3,500-Yard Passer 1,500-Yard Rusher 1,000-Yard Receivers Detroit Lions 1995 Scott Mitchell (4,338) Barry Sanders (1,500) Herman Moore (1,686), Brett Perriman (1,488) Denver Broncos 1997 John Elway (3,635) Terrell Davis (1,750) Shannon Sharpe (1,107), Rod Smith (1,180) San Francisco 49ers 1998 Steve Young (4,170) Garrison Hearst (1,570) Terrell Owens (1,097), Jerry Rice (1,157) Minnesota Vikings 2000 Daunte Culpepper (3,937) Robert Smith (1,521) Cris Carter (1,274), Randy Moss (1,437) Indianapolis Colts 2004 Peyton Manning (4,557) Edgerrin James (1,548) Marvin Harrison (1,113), Brandon Stokley (1,077), Reggie Wayne (1,210) Indianapolis Colts 2005 Peyton Manning (3,747) Edgerrin James (1,506) Marvin Harrison (1,146), Reggie Wayne (1,055) St. Louis Rams 2006 Marc Bulger (4,301) Steven Jackson (1,528) Isaac Bruce (1,098), Torry Holt (1,188) Tennessee Titans * 2020 Ryan Tannehill (3,482) Derrick Henry (1,679) Corey Davis (945), A.J. Brown (881) * Two games remaining TITANS REACH 20 RUSHING TDs, 30 PASSING TDs: The Titans have scored 55 touchdowns in 2020. The total is good for second place in franchise history behind the 66 touchdowns registered by the 1961 Oilers. The 55 touchdowns scored by the Titans also puts them in a tie with their opponents this week, the Green Bay Packers, for first place in the NFL. The next closest total is owned by the Kansas City Chiefs with 52 total touchdowns. The Titans’ prolific scoring pace is a result of significant production in both the running game and the passing game. They have reached the end zone on 21 occasions on rushing attempts, led by Derrick Henry’s 15 rushing scores. Meanwhile, they have 31 touchdown passes, all by Ryan Tannehill. Since 1960, the Titans are only the sixth NFL squad to have at least 20 rushing touchdowns and 30 passing touchdowns in their first 14 games. The 2018 New Orleans Saints were the most recent team to accomplish the feat prior to the Titans. (continued on next page) The average NFL team in 2020 has 14.4 rushing touchdowns and 23.7 passing touchdowns. Teams since 1960 with 20 rushing touchdowns and 30 passing touchdowns through 14 games: Team Season Rush TD Pass TD Tennessee Titans 2020 21 31 New Orleans Saints 2018 22 31 New England Patriots 2012 23 30 St. Louis Rams 2000 21 34 San Francisco 49ers 1994 20 32 San Diego Chargers 1981 23 32 TITANS SCORING AT HIGHEST RATE FOR TEAM SINCE 1961: With last week’s 46-25 victory against the Detroit Lions, the Titans pushed their season total to 436 points, passing the 2003 squad (435 points) for second place in franchise history in overall scoring. The only occasion in team annals in which the Titans/Oilers scored more points was the 513-point season of 1961 (14 games). The Titans are tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the lead in scoring in 2020 with an average of 31.1 points per game. That is also the highest rate ever for the Titans/Oilers other than the 1961 club, which averaged 36.6 points per contest. Most points in a season in franchise history: Season Points Pts/Gm 1. 1961 513 36.6 (14 games) 2. 2020 436 31.1 (two games remaining) 3. 2003 435 27.2 4. 1988 424 26.5 5. 1990 405 25.3 6. 2019 402 25.1 7. 1999 392 24.5 8. 1962 387 27.6 (14 games) 9. 1991 386 24.1 10. 2016 381 23.8 TITANS LOOK TO SUSTAIN ROAD SUCCESS: The Titans enter Sunday night’s game at Green Bay looking to extend their streak to six consecutive games with at least 420 offensive yards and 30 points.They would be the first team in history to attain such a streak. Separately, the Titans can craft their sixth consecutive game on the road with at least 420 total yards. They would join the 2018 Kansas City Chiefs (six games), the 2014 Philadelphia Eagles (six games) and the 1961–1962 Oilers (eight games) as the only teams who have done it since 1950. After totaling 377 yards at Denver in their Monday night opener (Sept. 14), the Titans have registered at least 420 yards in every road contest they have played, including 454 yards most recently at Jacksonville (Dec. 13). Most consecutive 420-yard road games since 1950: Team Dates Road Games 1. Houston Oilers Oct. 13, 1961–Sept. 23, 1962 8 2. Kansas City Chiefs Sept. 16, 2018–Dec. 2, 2018 6 Philadelphia Eagles Oct. 26, 2014–Dec. 28, 2014 6 4. Tennessee Titans Sept. 27, 2020–Dec. 13, 2020 5 (active streak) Philadelphia Eagles Sept. 9, 2013–Nov. 3, 2013 5 New Orleans Saints Dec. 11, 2011–Oct. 21, 2012 5 San Diego Chargers Dec. 11, 1982–Oct. 16, 1983 5 ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Derrick Henry leads the Titans rushing attack into Green Bay this week hoping to author another chapter in his catalogue of memorable road performances in the last two seasons. Henry has an active streak of nine consecutive 100-yard rushing games on the road. It is the second-longest streak in NFL history, and Sunday night he could tie Barry Sanders (10) for the longest such streak in history. Additionally, with 127 rushing yards, Henry can join six other players since 1948 who have logged at least 1,000 total rushing yards on the road in a single season. The last player to hit the mark was Adrian Peterson in 2012, and before Peterson it was only Jim Brown (1963), O.J. Simpson (1975), Eric Dickerson (1984), Gerald Riggs (1985) and Sanders (1997) who could claim the achievement. (continued on next page) Players since 1948 with 1,000 rushing yards in a season in road games: Player Team Season Rush Yards 1. Eric Dickerson Los Angeles Rams 1984 1,087 2. Barry Sanders Detroit Lions 1997 1,081 3. O.J. Simpson Buffalo Bills 1975 1,043 4. Jim Brown Cleveland Browns 1963 1,042 5. Adrian Peterson Minnesota Vikings 2012 1,039 6. Gerald Riggs Atlanta Falcons 1985 1,013 Derrick Henry Tennessee Titans 2020 873 (two games remaining) TANNEHILL CAN PASS BLANDA FOR MOST TDs BY A QB: Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill enjoyed one of the best statistical games of his career last week, passing for three touchdowns and rushing for two more. It was the first time in his nine-year NFL career that he had five total touchdowns through the air and on the ground, and he became the team’s first player to do so since Billy Volek on Dec. 19, 2004 at Oakland. Tannehill’s performance against the Lions also improved his season total to 31 passing touchdowns. Only George Blanda (36 in 1961) and Warren Moon (33 in 1990) have had that many in a season. Adding his passing touchdowns to his four rushing touchdowns in 2020, Tannehill’s sum of 35 combined touchdowns in 2020 is tied for second place all- time for the franchise. He needs two more to establish a new record ahead of Blanda’s 36 total touchdowns from 1961 (all passing) and Moon’s 35 from 1990 (33 passing, two rushing). Most combined passing and rushing touchdowns in a season, franchise history: Player Season Rush TD Pass TD Combined TD 1.

  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    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.
