OPPOSING VIEWS: Titans Hoping to Keep a Lid on Patriots
Most fans who remember the 59-0 annihilation that took place in Foxboro back in 2009 recall that Tom Brady and the offense put on a clinic, tossing six touchdowns and nearly 400 yards passing.
Down in Tennessee they remember also, and the focus this week appears to be making sure they get a little revenge this time around now that the rematch will be held down in their stadium.
Here's a look at what's being written about down there this morning:
