Titans-Packers Preview: Aaron Rodgers Leads the Pack into Undefeated Tennessee

The Green Bay Packers are off to Tennessee this week to face the still undefeated Titans. The Packers are coming off of a bye this week, allowing them to rest up for the challenge the Titans present. The Pack bested the Colts two weeks ago in a decisive 34-14 victory and look to ride the momentum all the way to Tennessee.

The Titans continue to impress with their 7-0 record. They are making a strong case to be called the best team in the league. After they took care of Indianapolis at home on Monday, few could argue that this is a championship caliber team.

The Titans will be lead by veteran quarterback Kerry Collins, who has been very accurate in the past few weeks. Along with Collins, the Titans field one of the best rushing attacks in the league, averaging 145 yards per game, with the one-two punch of LenDale White and rookie Chris Johnson.

On the other side of the ball, the Titans are one of the best defenses in the league, rating in the top ten in most defensive categories (points, yards, pass yards, and rush yards per game). Overall, the Titans will challenge the Packers in every aspect of the game.

The Packers, fresh off their bye, have one of the most explosive offenses in football. Aaron Rodgers and the proven passing attack will provide the Titans with one of the most difficult offenses they have faced. Not only will they have to deal with Rodgers, but they will also have to keep a resurgent Ryan Grant, who had his first 100-yard game against the Colts, in check.

The Packers defense, which was banged up early in the season, may be getting starting safety Atari Bigby and starting corner Al Harris back this week. They will help the Packers' chances of stopping the Titans. The main problem for the Pack is the rushing attack of the Titans. The Packers have given up about 141 yards per game on the ground.

If the Packers are going to win this game, the defense needs to stop the run. Look for the Titans to run the ball early and often to test this Packers defense. If the Titans can stop Rodgers and run effectively, they will still be undefeated by day's end.
