NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -The Tennessee Titans’ improbable playoff dreams are finished for this season. Now it’s back to reality with goals quickly set on two other historic marks.
Finish 8-8, which no NFL team has ever managed after starting a season with six straight losses. And get Chris Johnson to 2,000 yards rushing, making him only the sixth player in league history to reach that mark.
Johnson says reaching 2,000 would mean a lot to him. He currently has 1,872 yards, and he isn’t giving up on Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards either. He would need 234 yards Jan. 3 at Seattle.
But his teammates are committed to getting him there along with one final win. Tight end Bo Scaife says Johnson deserves that mark.
