Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey is one of the more dominant interior pass rushers in the NFL. The fourth-year player has two sacks and nine quarterback pressures on the season. Jaguars rookie center Luke Bowanko has started the past three games and has been the key to the offensive line's improved play.

In an effort to spark a relatively dormant rushing attack, the Jaguars will start to use more of a committee approach at running back. Rookie Storm Johnson should be in line for more work after his impressive outing against the Steelers. The Titans are 26th in the league against the run with 136.6 yards per game.

Titans tight end Delanie Walker is the team's primary offensive weapon. The ninth-year man has 26 receptions for 364 yards and three touchdowns on the season. The Jaguars have struggled mightily against tight ends, but safety Johnathan Cyprien has played well against opposing tight ends of late.
