That’s absolutely wild to me. They have 134 rush attempts on the season and not a single one has gone for a TD. 18 total TDs (16 passing, 2 defensive).

    It reminds me of that movie with the racist coach that the black dude rushed the team all the way to the five and he would substitute a white guy to get the TD. I think Paul Walker was in it

      Honestly, would love to have him back on a more reasonable contract. He wasn’t worth the cap hit he was due, but there’s still gas in that tank.

        I think we still have dead cap hit from him for $5M this year and $3M next year. He doesn’t need any more money from us. He’s already getting more than he’s worth from the Vikings.

    Don’t worry. They play the Packers this weekend. We’ll make them look like the entire rest of the season was a fluke.

    Can Cam Akers make a difference the rest of the season for Minnesota? The Rams did not want the guy for a reason. I thought he was going to be a star in the league at running back. It’s so common at the running back position to see a guy that pops off the screen or looks great in the beginning of their career for a season or two and then they just aren’t the same player anymore.

    Genuine question as a Titans fan: are there other ways to score TDs than rushing?

    It’s not shocking if you’ve seen their stats when it’s first and goal inside the five 🫠🫠🫠

    Man, I’m so glad we scored on rushing touchdowns against the Rams because we were right there with them.
