INDIANAPOLIS – For the past three weeks, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has started for the Titans and has helped lead them to back-to-back victories.
Starting quarterback Jake Locker left a week four matchup against the Texans with a shoulder injury and is not expected to play this weekend against the Colts.
A 3-4 record began to trend toward .500 on a Thursday night matchup two weeks ago with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kicker Rob Bironas hit four field goals, and his game-winner from 40 yards out as time expired gave Tennessee a much-needed win.
The Titans erased a 10-point fourth quarter deficit with less than five minutes to play in earning a 26-23 victory.
Tennessee carried that momentum into this past weekend with Chris Johnson rushing for a season-high 195 yards and two touchdowns as the Titans beat the Bills, 35-34.
The 195 yards for Johnson was by far the best game the Pro Bowl running back has had this season, and the two touchdowns were his first scores of the year.
After three quarters on Sunday, the Bills led, 34-28, but the final frame would not see the offensive frenzy that took place early on in Orchard Park.
Wide receiver Nate Washington hauled in a 15-yard touchdown pass from Hasselbeck with 1:03 to play to give the Titans the victory.
Just like the Colts, the Titans are one of nine teams at 3-3 or 3-4 currently in the AFC.
In order for Tennessee to continue to be in the playoff discussion, it will need to get consistent production from Johnson.
This season Johnson has had rushing efforts of four, 17, 24, 141, 24, 91 and 195 yards.
It has been an up-and-down season for Johnson, but the Titans' rushing offense is beginning to find its groove.
Rookie ride receiver Kendall Wright is beginning to emerge in the Titans passing game and leads the team with 36 catches.
Tight end Jared Cook and Washington join Wright to form a trio of pass catchers with more than 300 reception yards.
