gamepreview

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (1-10) complete their November home stand this week against the AFC South rival Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4). Kickoff at Nissan Stadium (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for 12 p.m. CST on Sunday, Nov. 30.

This is the first of two annual clashes in the series, which dates back to the Jaguars' inaugural 1995 campaign. The clubs will conclude the regular season at Jacksonville in Week 18. The Titans, who lead the all-time series 35-26 (including postseason), look to regain the momentum in the series after the Jaguars took both meetings in 2024.

Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy has a recent history with the Jaguars. He coached the team's quarterbacks from 2022 to 2024, prior to joining the Titans during the 2025 offseason as senior offensive assistant. In McCoy's time in Jacksonville, quarterback Trevor Lawrence had consecutive 4,000-yard passing seasons in 2022 and 2023 before being limited by injuries to 10 games in 2025.

THE BROADCAST

This week's contest will be regionally televised on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5, as well as on Paramount+ in the Nashville market. The broadcast team includes play-by-play announcer Spero Dedes, analyst Adam Archuleta and reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala.

ROOKIES HIGHLIGHTED IN EFFORT AGAINST SEATTLE

The Titans hosted the Seattle Seahawks last week. After scoring 21 points in the second half, their comeback effort fell short in a 30-24 loss. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward passed for 256 yards and a touchdown while also scoring his first career rushing touchdown. Fellow rookie Chimere Dike reached the end zone on a punt return and added a touchdown catch.

Dike's 90-yard punt return touchdown tied for the longest punt return in franchise history, matching Pacman Jones' mark (Nov. 19, 2006 at Philadelphia). He also became the third player in franchise history with a punt return touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game, joining Billy "White Shoes" Johnson and Justin McCareins. With 1,760 all-purpose yards in 2025, Dike leads the NFL.

Ward, who has started every game this season, has 2,210 passing yards in 2025, which is second in franchise history for a rookie quarterback behind Marcus Mariota's 2,818 passing yards in 2015.

THE JAGUARS

The Jaguars currently reside in second place in the AFC South, one game behind the Indianapolis Colts (8-3) and one game ahead of the Houston Texans (6-5). Last week, the Jaguars traveled to face the Arizona Cardinals and escaped with a 27-24 overtime victory.

Liam Coen is in his first season as Jacksonville's head coach. He was named to the post in January after one season as the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Buccaneers (2024). In his lone season in Tampa Bay, he led the NFL's only offense that finished in the top five in total offense (399.6 yards per game), passing offense (250.4), rushing offense (149.2) and scoring (29.5 points per game).

Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has started every game in 2025. On the season, he has 2,407 passing yards with 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Last week, he threw three touchdown passes with three interceptions.
