The Seattle Seahawks will travel to Nashville, Tennessee to face the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium with the game kicking off at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon in week 16 of the NFL season and will air on CBS.

 

Seattle ended their four-game losing streak on Monday night following a 20-17 win at home against the Philadelphia Eagles which has improved their record to .500 this season with a record of 7-7. The Seahawks are tied with the Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Rams, and New Orleans Saints for the final two NFC Wild Card spots, however, they would not be in the playoffs if they started today because they would lose the tiebreaker to the Vikings and Rams. 

 

Seattle has been a below-average offensive team this season as they enter this game averaging 21.43 points per game and for a team that was projected to be one of the best-rushing offenses in the league this season they have failed to live up to that expectation as they are averaging the 5^th fewest rushing yards per game with an average of 92.57 rushing yards per game, however, they have been an above-average passing team as they are averaging 230.14 passing yards per game. 

 

Geno Smith has had a solid season as he enters this game having completed 259 of 402 attempts for 2,918 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions, however, he has missed the last two games with a groin injury. The Seattle Seahawks will look to build off the momentum following Monday Night’s win against the Philadelphia Eagles when they travel to face the Tennessee Titans.

 

The Tennessee Titans have officially been eliminated from playoff contention which means they will miss the playoffs for the 2^nd season in a row as they enter this game with a record of 5-9 and are coming off a 16-19 overtime loss at home against the Houston Texans in week 15.

 

The Titans led the game 13-0 at the beginning of the 2^nd quarter, however, the Texans would score 19 of the final 22 points including the 54-yard game-winning field goal in overtime. Tennessee has also been one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NFL this season as they enter this game averaging 18.36 points per game which is the 6^th fewest points per game this season. 

 

Derrick Henry is likely in his last season with the Tennessee Titans, however, he has been one of the best players in franchise history as he is 2^nd in rushing yards all-time for the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans and has still had a solid season in his 8^th season in the NFL as he leads the team in rushing with 884 yards and ten touchdowns while adding 27 receptions for 203 yards. The Titans will look to bounce back following the overtime loss against the Houston Texans when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon.
