Eddie George and Steve McNair. Steve McNair and Eddie George.
Think of the Tennessee Titans, and two of their all-time greats come to mind because of their success on the field, their toughness and grit – and the impact they've made in the city of Nashville and beyond.
The Tennessee Titans retired Quarterback Steve McNair's No. 9 jersey and running back Eddie George's No. 27 jersey in a ceremony during halftime of the Sept. 15 home opener.
"Steve and Eddie will be forever linked as two of the driving forces for our team in the late 90's and early 2000's," Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said. "They were the heart and soul of the team and each made the other a better player and ultimately led to a great deal of team success. Their statistics will forever live in our record books, but their play and sacrifice is what our fans will always remember. For that and all that they have done for our team, the number 9 and 27 will be retired with the all-time franchise greats."
Celebrating 9 and 27
