INDIANAPOLIS – The headline on the sports front of The Tennessean Monday morning read "SEASON SAVER" to describe the Titans thrilling win in Oakland on Sunday.
A touchdown with just 10 seconds remaining on Sunday gave the Titans a 23-19 road victory and brought them to within two games of the AFC South with five weeks remaining.
The win moved the Titans into the current sixth seed in the AFC Playoff Picture and sets up a major AFC South matchup with the Colts this weekend.
The uniqueness of Sunday's game comes with the Colts and Titans meeting after playing just one game since their Nov. 14 contest.
In that game in Nashville, the Colts erased a 14-point first-half deficit in coming back for a 30-27 win against the Titans.
Looking back at the Titans win this past weekend shows them making the necessary plays in the second half to get a much-needed victory.
The Raiders took a 9-6 halftime lead with the teams combining for five first-half field goals.
Tennessee scored the first touchdown of the afternoon on the opening drive of the second half when rookie wide receiver Justin Hunter caught a 54-yard touchdown from starter Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Hunter made a pair of Raiders defenders miss before running free for over 30 yards for the touchdown.
The teams traded field goals on the next two scores before a Raiders touchdown gave Oakland a 19-16 lead with 6:10 remaining.
Fitzpatrick would then orchestrate a 14-play, 80-yard drive with Hunter converting a pair of third-downs to set up a third-and-goal from the 10-yard line with 15 seconds left.
Leading receiver Kendall Wright hauled in the 10-yard game-winning touchdown.
Both Hunter (109) and Wright (103) went over 100 receiving yards on Sunday as Fitzpatrick was 30-of-42 for 320 yards and two touchdowns.
The Titans were 10-of-18 on third-down while controlling the ball for over 11 minutes more than the Raiders.
