Titans vs. Ravens score: Tennessee pulls off upset to advance to first AFC Championship since 2002
CBS Sports ^ | January 11, 2019 | Tyler Sullivan

For the first time since 2002, the Tennessee Titans are heading to the AFC Championship. Mike Vrabel's team finds themselves on the doorstep of a Super Bowl berth after stunning the No. 1 seeded Baltimore Ravens, 28-12.

Tennessee carried the momentum from their Wild Card upset of the Patriots into Baltimore and essentially had this victory secure from the jump going on a 14-0 run to start the game. They were able to get on the board first after Tennessee safety Kevin Byard picked off a tipped pass from Lamar Jackson, one of his three turnovers on the night. Ryan Tannehill, who completed half of his throws for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and company took the ball 35 yards down the field and ended with a tremendous touchdown grab by tight end Jonnu Smith. After stopping Baltimore on a fourth-and-1 attempt on their next offensive possession, Tannehill came back onto the field and immediately completed a 45-yard touchdown pass to receiver Kalif Raymond.

While the Ravens were able to put up a couple of field goals before halftime and had some momentum heading into the locker room at the break, the Titans were able to go on a back-breaking third-quarter run that pressed their lead over 20 points and essentially put the game out of reach. A large part of that is thanks to running back Derrick Henry, who rushed for 195 yards and he even passed for a touchdown.

Too many people remember the Cowboys being “America’s Team” for so long. It got to be repetitive after a while...especially since Texas is NOT the totality of America. (Sorry Texans..)

As for today, I think the season ends at Lambeau for my ‘Hawks. As much as I’d love to see a repeat showdown against SanFran at Santa Clara...I’m thinkin’ it’s not gonna happen.

Can’t wait for Feb. 8th.
Go Dragons! #BreathingFire #XFL

Or as Bum Phillips said, "The Cowboys may be America's Team, but the Oilers are Texas' team."

I understand somewhat now. I am not a Texan but I do love the state - have been there many times and almost moved there once. I’ve been to all but 4 states in the Union and can say there’s something to love about each one.

I really expected to see the ravens in the Super Bowl

Not me. Lamar Jackson is overhyped. He's no MVP, what a load of bullcrap.

Jackson is a “Flash in the Pan”.

Teams have all off-season to look at the film and figure out how to neutralize him next season.

Meanwhile, traditional passing QBs, like Aaron Rodgers just keep chugging on.

Others have kinda explained it. I was born and bred in Boston and married to NJ. I like North over South and East over West with some exceptions. Denver has family and some of the NW states are special. But when that term America’s Team started, it was a WHAT???? Not fair of me to lump other Texas teams in with it, I know.

First time I’ve seen a little pout in Lamar Jackson.

It’s not on Cam Newton’s level, but it was certainly there last night

See, I’ve never agreed with the “America’s Team” label either - I’ve always chalked it up to media sycophants. I’ve always been a Steelers fan myself and can justify it by knowing how widespread their fanbase is - any town they go to there’s always a large contingent of fans at the stadium (Baltimore possibly an exception cuz they’re all thugs down there) and at least one or two Steeelers bars in town.

I never think of those in Baltimore as thugs, but I do to fans of the Phillies or Eagles in Philadelphia. Win or lose, store windows are broken and cars are overturned!

Funny you should mention Philthadelphia, I was born there - and I agree. That and the former Oakland Raiders fan base are renown for their thuggery.
