Riding on quarterback Joshua Dobbs touchdown pass to tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tennessee led the game 13-7 at halftime.

The Titans took an early 3-0 lead when kicker Randy Bullock drilled a 51-yard field goal in the first quarter. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs connected with Okonkwo for the longest play of the game then – a 21-yard pass – to find the end zone for a touchdown.
Tennessee took a 10-0 lead with 5:32 left in the half.
Jacksonville Jaguars struck back with quarterback Trevor Lawrence hitting wide receiver Christian Kirk for a 25-yard touchdown with 2:36 remaining in the first half.

Cornerback Davontae Harris (hamstring) along with safety Mike Brown and defensive tackle Naquan Jones were inactive for the Titans (7-9) on Saturday.
The winner makes the playoffs. The Jaguars could potentially still make the playoffs even if they lose, but they would need lots of help. The Titans must win to advance to the postseason.
