Vic at 5:10 p.m.
I'm heading outside for my first pregame radio segment. I'll be spending some time with NFL Network, too, at about 6:20.

Vic at 6:10 p.m.
The weather is magnificent. The stage for this game couldn't be better. I saw a lot of energy among the fans as I was doing radio. The rest is up to the players and coaches.

Vic at 6:10 p.m.
How do you stop Chris Johnson? That's the question of the night. Whatever strategy the Jaguars use, they started creating it last spring when they signed Aaron Kampman and drafted Tyson Alualu.

Vic at 6:10 p.m.
Maybe it started when they drafted Terrance Knighton in 2009. For sure, this is the game for which the Jaguars rebuilt their defensive line.

Vic at 6:10 p.m.
Here's the plan: I'm going to do some radio at seven, then I'm going to haul my laptop up to the stinking media box. I'll get back to you about 7:30 or so.

Vic at 7:10 p.m.
Derek Cox is inactive? What happened? He was "probable" on Saturday. He must've gotten injured since then.

Vic at 7:10 p.m.
David Jones will start at cornerback in place of Cox. I don't know if this is a big deal against Vince Young, but I'd like to have Cox in run-support.

Vic at 7:10 p.m.
Here's some good news: Ticket sales remained strong after it was announced the blackout would be lifted. That's a very, very good sign.

Vic at 7:10 p.m.
The gains the Jaguars have made since this time last year are extraordinary. A win tonight would really cap the effort.

Vic at 7:10 p.m.
I've got one more radio segment to do. I'll be back for the coin toss.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
The Jaguars won the toss and elected to defer their choice to the second half.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
The Titans, of course, elected to receive the opening kickoff. The wind is from the southeast at eight mph.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Big-game football has returned to Jacksonville. This one clearly has a big-game feel to it.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
The Titans will start at their 21. Enjoy the game, everyone.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Vince Young's first pass is over the Jaguars bench.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Right away, the Titans are facing third and long.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
The pass is good to Kenny Britt for nine yards and a first down. It was a good throw.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Young to Bo Scaife for a big gain. He was wide open. They're going at David Jones' side of the field. Gerald Alexander was slow in coming over.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Facemask on Rashean Mathis. This is going to move the ball to near the Jaguars 25.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
He actually grabbed the ear hole. I hate when that happens to me.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Touchdown! Young to Britt for 23 yards. He was wide open over the middle. He beat Jones and Alexander.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
That tells us all we need to know about the Jaguars' pass-defense. Even with Chris Johnson in their backfield, the Titans came out throwing.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
I can't help but wonder if Cox being deactivated changed the Titans' strategy. They are throwing at Jones and running at Mathis. It makes sense.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Young's throws were on the money, but his receivers were wide open and there was no rush. It looked like skeleton.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Mo delivers a pop on his first run. I mean he walloped somebody in there.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
David Garrard is facing a third and eight at his 44.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
The throw for Underwood was wide. Garrard got knocked down. That won't work. He must be kept clean.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Don Carey's going to be flagged for hitting the return may too soon. Podlesh's punt was a beauty.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
They're picking up the flag. They're calling the contact incidental. I think the Jags caught a break on that one. The ball is at the Titans' 10.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
This is a critical defensive series for the Jaguars. They can't let the Titans get a two-score lead. The Jags must not become one-dimensional or the Titans can crank up the pass-rush.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
The crowd is impressive. It's here and ready to play.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
Third and one coming up.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
This is close. Hold on.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
They got it by inches.

Vic at 8:10 p.m.
There you go. Young got pressure and threw wildly.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Young fumbles and Kampman recovers. Young is down.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
He just dropped the snap. He got it back and then lost it again. He's down and it looks bad.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Garrard is kneeling next to Young. I sense this is bad. Players are gathering around Young. Usually that means they heard something.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
He's up but he's limping badly. The challenge flag is out.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Jeff Fisher is challenging the ruling of fumble.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Tyson Alualu has sustained a knee injury. His return is probable.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Knighton twisted Young's left knee. I don't know what Fisher's coaches saw to warrant a challenge.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
The ruling is Young's knee was down with possession. The Titans win the challenge. I don't see what they see.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Kerry Collins immediately throws a completion for 20 yards and a first down. The pass-defense is being shredded.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
I've looked at the replay of the fumble several times and I just don't get it.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Collins to Britt, but illegal shift on the Titans, so the Jaguars have that going for them, which is nice.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
It's going to be third and 17. If the Jags can't stop this play, it's gonna be a long night.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
OK, they held; gain of only 11.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Mike Thomas is tackled on the Jags six. I need a break.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
I've talked to a couple of other guys who said they saw that Young's knee touched down as Knighton was twisting it and before the ball came out.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Young's return is questionable. I have a feeling it's very questionable.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Garrard to Sims-Walker for a first down.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Garrard to Lewis for nine. It would be good for Garrard to get into a rhythm and loosen the defense up.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Mo takes a naked pitch for 10 and a first down.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Offensive pass-interference on Underwood. It was on a bomb. There's nothing there. Why are they over-calling interference?

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
I saw, in the Houston-KC game, the worst pass-interference call I have ever seen. It was horrible and it changed the game.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Garrard dumps it to Mo in the face of a rush. It only gains four. Podlesh will punt, but not until the second quarter.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
The punt is just OK. The Titans take over at their 17.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Alualu is back in the game.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Johnson loses yardage on second and 10.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
The Titans are out of sync. It's punt time.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Thomas is swarmed under at about his 30. The Jaguars are playing eight and nine in the box. They are stacked against the run.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Holding on Monroe.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
The action has deteriorated. The Jags are now back at their 13.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
On third and 15, Garrard is intercepted by Michael Griffin. It was a poorly thrown pass.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
It was grossly underthrown. Garrard and the receiver may not have been on the same page. Underwood was the intended receiver.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Collins throws to Scaife for a first down at the 21.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Johnson pounds out a nice gain over the left side. The ball is at the 14.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
On third and three, watch for Scaife.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Collins to Scaife at the one. First and goal. Carey was in coverage.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Collins throws a terrible pass. He was nearly intercepted. It's third and goal.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Watch for Scaife, again.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Touchdown! Collins to Scaife. Kirk Morrison was late getting there.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Deji Karim slipped on the return. Garrard will start at his 13. He's got to do something big to reverse the direction of this game. The Titans play better with a lead than any team in the game.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Third and four. This is a huge play in this game.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Garrard got wacked. He hit Lewis right in the hands in the face of the rush, but Lewis dropped it. It would've been a first down. That really hurts.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
The Titans take possession at the Jags 44. The game is on the line right now.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Two runs by Javon Ringer gain a first down. I don't like the looks of those.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Holding on Mathis on third and three. First down at the 20.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
When a guy's shoulder pad is sticking out of the top of his shirt at the end of the play, you're probably going to get a holding penalty.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Collins to Ringer for a first down at the 10. Collins is shredding the Jags secondary.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
It's third and goal from the nine. Fade for Britt, huh?

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Over Britt's head. It's field goal time.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
It's good, which is real bad for the Jags.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Garrard is "shaken up," according to the Jags, and will be evaluated at halftime.

Vic at 9:10 p.m.
Trent Edwards replaces Garrard at quarterback. A cheer goes up. Here he comes to save the day.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Garrard got "shaken up" when he got wacked as he threw for Lewis. Both starting quarterbacks are gone. I'll bet MNF loves this.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards to Thomas for a first down.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
I hope everyone understands the Titans are allowing everything underneath, but I'm sure they don't.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards' deep pass for Sims-Walker is knocked away. It's third and three.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards scrambles for a first down. He got ripped at the sideline.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards to Lewis on a delay for 15 at the Titans 31.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards throws a strike to Underwood at the sideline at the 20.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Pass to Lewis, who fumbles at the 10. The Titans have it.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Jaguars fans are likely going to get a long look at Edwards in the second half.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
That's the end of the half. Collins and Young combined for 135 yards, two touchdowns and a 123.4 passer rating. That's the story of the game.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Jones-Drew has 17 yards rushing on seven carries and Garrard threw for just 49 yards and, of course, an interception.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Are you ready for some football? I am.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards is the QB. Garrard has a concussion and will not return.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
On a short week, does he play in Kansas City?

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Nearly intercepted. Edwards threw into three guys.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Intercepted by Alterraun Verner. It was nearly a pick-six.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards stared down Underwood. The ball is at the Jags 33.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
The Jags have stopped Johnson. They just haven't stopped Collins.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
It looks to me like Fisher has pulled the plug.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Chip-shot field goal attempt coming up. It's good.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
If they didn't look so different, I'd swear Fisher and Bill Cowher were the same guy. They are identical in coaching styles.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
"Ask Vic" is already getting ugly. The happiness has ended. It'll get rough tomorrow.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
The crowd is leaving. I can't blame them. Too bad. The night had so much promise.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Edwards throws to Thomas for a big gain.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Pass-interference against Finnegan. That's the biggest gain of the night for the Jaguars. The ball is at the Titans 20.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
To Thomas over the middle for a first down at the eight.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
I think it's safe to say this is four-down territory.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Big sack! I mean a really big sack. The ball is back to the 15, a loss of 12. It's fourth down. Scobee's on.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
It's good.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
If there's one positive in the Jaguars' performance, it's that they have stopped Johnson cold.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Johnson is not a pounder. It's all or nothing with him.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
I'm telling you, the Jaguars are beating him up.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
There's the problem. All that hard work to stop Johnson goes to waste when Collins converts on third down.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Tickets distributed: 63,625. Actual attendance: 60,652.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
Collns converts on third down again.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
The Titans are starting to grind. We're nearing a minute to play in the quarter.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
One more run left in the third quarter.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
That run'll do it. The fourth quarter will start with a third-and-two run.

Vic at 10:10 p.m.
The fourth quarter starts with a run. Here comes the field goal unit.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
It's good.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Edwards is sacked, but it's offsides. The Titans will be trying to pad their sacks total.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Mo breaks off a couple of 10-yard runs, which is what you can do when the other guys are playing pass-rush.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
You know, there's plenty of time left in this game if the Titans have let up.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Edwards has to get it downfield, now. Stop dinking and dunking.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
It's fourth and one at the 20.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Edwards sneaks for the first down.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Come on, hurry up, let's go.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Nice run but there is no time for that. Let's go, let's go.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Another run burns more time.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
A third straight run brings boos. It's going to be fourth and inches.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Edwards sneaks for the first down but the clock is now at eight minutes left and ticking.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Mo runs to the five and the clock nears seven minutes left.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Another run and more boos. We're inside 6:40 now.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
It's fourth and goal from the one.

Vic at 11:10 p.m.
Intercepted by Vincent Fuller. I'm done. Thanks for spending the evening with me.
