A few thoughts on the Tennessee Titans' 21-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field:
What it means: The Titans lost their ninth straight game and split with the Jaguars for the sixth consecutive season. Tennessee has been the victim in five of the Jaguars' last 22 wins. The Titans are now in sole possession of last place in the AFC South and are the first team in the NFL to reach 13 losses, making them very much a player in the race for the top pick in the draft.
Stock watch: Cornerback Coty Sensabaugh is down. He started the second of three games to end the season with Blidi Wreh-Wilson on injured reserve. Running back Toby Gerhart dragged Sensabaugh around at one point. Sensabaugh fell at the feet of receiver Marqise Lee after one catch, failing to touch him, and he dived and missed in pursuit of Lee after another big catch. When Jordan Todman ran for a 62-yard touchdown, Sensabaugh was chasing a guy to whom the Jaguars had faked a reverse. Later the Jaguars got a crucial, time-killing third-down conversion thanks to a (questionable) pass interference penalty against Sensabaugh.
End the trend: The Titans scored a touchdown on their opening possession for the first time in 18 games dating back to a Dec. 18, 2013, loss at Denver. It was their first touchdown on offense in three weeks after they failed to find the end zone on offense in losses to the Giants and Jets.
Game ball: The Titans sagged significantly in the middle of the game, and so did quarterback Charlie Whitehurst. But his early work and late work added up to a better-than-decent night for the quarterback -- 24-of-35 for 287 yards and a touchdown with a 102.9 passer rating. He was sacked four times.
What’s next: The Titans host the Indianapolis Colts at LP Field on Dec. 28 to wrap up the season. Tennessee lost at Indianapolis 41-17 on Sept. 28.
