Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles franchises have met on only 12 prior occasions. The Eagles hold a 7-5 advantage in a series that has swung dramatically.
Since the Eagles took the initial six contests, the Titans have won five of the last six matchups, including the most recent game in 2018.
The series dates back more than four decades, to when the two teams met at the Houston Astrodome on November 12th, 1972. The game was won by Philadelphia 18-17, and the Eagles would go on to win the next five games as well in the series through 1994.
The trend was reversed with a last-second 15-13 victory by the Titans in 2000 at Veterans Stadium. Since then, the only loss by the Titans to the Eagles was in Philadelphia on November 23rd, 2014, when despite a record-setting passing total by quarterback Zach Mettenberger, the Titans were ultimately defeated by a final score of 43-24. Mettenberger’s 345 passing yards set a franchise rookie record. However, Mark Sanchez’s 307 passing yards and LeSean McCoy’s 130 rushing yards were too much for the Titans to overcome.
In the 2018 meeting at Nissan Stadium, Marcus Mariota’s 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Corey Davis in overtime provided a thrilling ending to a 26-23 victory. The Eagles took the lead with a field goal on the first drive of overtime, but then Mariota directed a 16-play, 75- yard drive that concluded with his game-winning toss with only five seconds remaining on the clock.
