The 0-5 Tennessee Titans (Houston Oilers) take on our 3-2 New England Patriots (Boston Patriots). As you can surmise from the logos, we're back in throwbacks. Hopefully the outcome is different than the last time we wore throwbacks (ahem - Denver). I swear we were blinded by those gruesome socks, but that's in the past. Time to move on.

Friday's injury report has some notable entries, namely Matt Light. Notably absent, however, is Wes Welker which means his health has improved. I thought for sure that hit to the back would've kept him out, but there's no stopping the little engine that can.
Don't ever discount an 0-5 team, especially one that as recently as 2008 was tearing up the field. Never underestimate their desire to replace that "0" with a 1. However, today will be an uphill battle. Tom Brady appears to be progressing and our Patriots play in front of a home town crowd. The Titans have their work cut out for them.
