The Tennessee Titans don't have a long history, but they have an illustrious one. The team will retire the numbers of two former greats. Both Steve McNair and Eddie George will have their numbers hung in the rafters on Sunday.
George had something to say to the team before a big divisional matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

For me, it was Pittsburgh. It was Indianapolis and Jacksonville. It was those games that get your attention because they count twice but more importantly it was a shift of power,” George said, according to the AP.
The Titans have a golden opportunity in front of them. All three of their division opponents lost in Week 1, while they took home a win. Another victory against the Colts would push them up to 2-0, with the Colts falling to 0-2. The Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars play on Sunday, which means another division rival will fall to 0-2. If Tennessee does indeed come away with the win, they take sole control of the AFC South.
Although a 2-0 start is encouraging, it doesn't mean too much. The Titans will still have to face the Texans and Jaguars twice, along with the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs. Knowing that those two teams come down the road, Tennessee needs to take advantage of playing softer units.
