Titan-ic

 So it's Monday morning and the Blob would be remiss if it didn't acknowledge an impressive NFL feat, not to overstate it or anything. 

And, no, we're not talking about 57-year-old Tom Brady still doing Tom Brady things down in Tampa -- even against the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers, who played like he was 67-year-old Aaron Rodgers against the Buccaneers' defense.

We're talking about what happened in Nashville, Tenn., yesterday.

What happened was the Tennessee Titans jacked around and won another football game, this time a 42-36 win in overtime against the Houston Texans. This gave the Titans five wins on the season and zero losses, and no one can figure out how they're doing it except that no one can tackle Derrick Henry, who rumbled for 212 yards and two touchdowns yesterday.

That's not the impressive part, however.

The impressive part is it was the Titans' second victory in five days.

It was last Tuesday night they walloped Buffalo 42-16, when the Bills were also undefeated. Then they turned right around and won again without the sort of recovery time NFL teams are supposed to require.

And if you're saying here "But Mr. Blob, teams have won on Sunday and then turned around and won on Thursday night. So why is this so special?"

Well ... it's special because prior to last Tuesday night, the Titans hadn't played a football game in 16 days, thanks to an outbreak of the Bastard Plague. They hadn't even been practicing for part of that time. 

Now they've won two games in five days and, unlike teams that play on Thursday night, they won't get a week-and-a-half to recover. They're right back at it again at unbeaten Pittsburgh next Sunday at 1 p.m.

That's a lot of football to play in just 12 days. And it's a significant disruption of routine in a sport whose life's breath is routine.

Hats off to 'em.
