NFL Football News :: Titans beat Steelers 31-14 to earn AFC top seed and home-field advantage

Posted on 2008-12-21 by Gooner

The Tennessee Titans gave a dominating performance on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers to clinch the AFC conference's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Titans improved the NFL's best record to 13-2 with their 15th win in their last 17 games.

Kerry Collins threw for one touchdown, and Chris Johnson and LenDale White each ran for a score as the Titans routed the Steelers 31-14 after leading 10-7 at halftime.

Tennessee did it without Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch because of injuries.

Their replacements helped them rest easy, though, as the Titans sacked Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger five times and forced him into four turnovers that they turned into 21 points.
