Keep your eye on ...
Tennessee's resiliency: Thanks to the league's top-ranked defense, the Titans haven't had to come from behind much at all this season. But last week -- down 14-3 at halftime -- they showed real character by scoring 21 unanswered points against the Jaguars, proving they won't fold with their backs against the wall.
Collins' efficiency: It's time to start thinking of Collins as an MVP candidate. Tennessee's "game manager" went over 200 yards passing for the second straight game Sunday, using just 13 completions to do so. After posting three touchdown passes in Tennessee's first eight games, Collins has busted out with five over the last two weeks, accounting for all three of Tennessee's touchdowns last week.
Favre under pressure: New York's turnover-prone QB has now gone two games and 57 pass attempts with throwing an interception. He'll be facing a Titans team that feeds off of a plus-10 turnover ratio. Favre will have to be extra careful against the Titans who are tied for second in the league with 15 interceptions and loves to pressure opposing quarterbacks into mistakes.
