Bye week good to Titans

Most nfl teams look forward to their yearly bye week. The coaching staff will get an additional week of preparation time and the players will get a few days of well deserved rest. The bye week has been especially kind to the Tennessee Titans lately, and head coach Jeff Fisher is looking to catch lightning in a bottle once again. Tennessee entered the 2009 bye week at 0-6. Owner Bud Adams stepped in and ordered Vince Young to start at quarterback. The Titans finished the season on a 8-2 run, falling one game short of a historic playoff birth.

The Titans went into this year's bye week on another loss, and it seems that lady luck has reared her beautiful head once again. After losing their breakout wide receiver Kenny Britt to a hamstring injury early against the Chargers, the Titans landed hall of famer to be Randy Moss as a replacement. The caterer for the Minnesota Vikings on that fateful Friday afternoon had to be in the right place at the right time. Randy Moss had to be in the right (or in this case wrong) mood and the rest is waiver wire history. And what are the chances that 22 other teams would refuse Moss's services? Some of those teams had glaring holes at the wide receiver position. And to throw a cheery on top, lady luck had the Colts and Texans lose in week 9. The Titans now sit in a first place tie with Indianapolis at 5-3, with five divisional games left to play. Time will tell if the Moss experiment will work out. But for now, what a week to be a Tennessee Titan.
