Division on the Line as Titans Visit Jacksonville Saturday Night

The Tennessee Titans travel to Jacksonville this week to face the Jaguars in a game that will determine the 2022 AFC South champion. Kickoff at TIAA Bank Field (capacity 67,858) is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. EST/7:15 p.m. CST on Saturday, Jan. 7.

Heading into the final weekend of the regular season, the Jaguars own an 8-8 record and lead the 7-9 Titans by one game in the division race. Their current edge is due in part to their 36-22 victory in Tennessee on Dec. 11 in the first of two annual head-to-head clashes. The Jaguars will take the division title with either a win or a tie in Week 18.

However, if the Titans are victorious this week, they would match the Jaguars’ record and take the division crown based on the division-record tiebreaker. The Titans would finish the regular season with a 4-2 mark against AFC South foes, while the Jaguars would be 3-3.

The AFC South winner will be the fourth seed in the conference playoff field and will host the fifth seed during Super Wild Card Weekend (Jan. 14-16).

The contest will be nationally televised on ESPN and ABC, including Nashville ABC affiliate WKRN News 2. The broadcast team includes play-by-play announcer Joe Buck, analyst Troy Aikman and reporter Lisa Salters.

ESPN Deportes will carry the Spanish-language telecast.

On phones and tablets, the newly-launched NFL+ subscription service offers access to all local games and all primetime games, live local and national audio for every NFL game, and more. This week’s game is also available on ESPN+.

The Titans Radio Network and Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone carry all Titans games across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Dave McGinnis, sideline reporter Amie Wells and gameday host Rhett Bryan.

Additionally, Westwood One Sports will broadcast the game to a national radio audience. Play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy and analyst Jason McCourty have the call.

With a win this week at…
