The Tennessee Titans (12-1) captured their first AFC South title since 2002 with a 28-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns (4-9) Sunday at LP Field. The victory, coupled with a Jets loss at San Francisco, secured a first-round bye for the Titans in the AFC playoffs. Kerry Collins threw a pair of touchdown passes, and Chris Johnson (136 yards) and LenDale White (99 yards) each ran for a score as Tennessee became the NFL's first team to secure a postseason berth this season. The Titans, who captured the inaugural AFC South title in 2002, won for the 15th time in the last 16 regular season games, maintaining a two-game lead over Pittsburgh with three to play for home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs.

Some tibbit from Coach Jeff Fisher's conference on Monday.
(On four different players scoring touchdowns)
I mean we’re spreading the ball around a little bit. Of course, it all started yesterday with the running game, our ability to run the football. A couple of the touchdown passes were play-action-related touchdown passes. That’s where it started. As I’ve said, I think on a weekly basis, the run game is a week-to-week thing. You want to establish it, keep it going. We talked about getting it back. Well, at least in the last couple weeks, we’ve run it with some consistency and so it’s good to see.
(On having the second-highest scoring team in the AFC)
The offseason goal was to increase the scoring and however you do that, our red-zone efficiency on both sides of the ball has been good, that’s the reason we’re at where we’re at. We put two drives together yesterday, we had a 94 and an 83-yard drives for a touchdowns. Then we had short drives. After the punt return we had a one-play drive that was good. We’re getting the ball in the end zone and we’re getting in the end zone for the most part on the ground, which is a hard thing to do. But we’re committed to that and when Kerry [Collins] gets the opportunities like he did yesterday he made a couple plays.
