Photo Credit: APNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Mike Munchak has no explanation for exactly why the Tennessee Titans now have won 13 of their past 14 games against the NFC.
Luckily for Tennessee, Atlanta and Tampa Bay are up next.
The Titans (5-4) now have won two of three overall after a 30-3 rout of Carolina on Sunday to stay just a game and a half back of the Houston Texans (7-3) in the division.
Their defense smothered Cam Newton and the high-flying Panthers' offense, while Chris Johnson ran for a season-high 130 yards. They even got a touchdown on a punt return.
Munchak said Monday he hopes the pattern remains the same. He's been preaching that the stretch run offers a fresh start for a team still set on winning the AFC South.
