BULLUCK APPROACHING 100 TACKLES FOR SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR: Titans outside linebacker Keith Bulluck was credited with five tackles last week at Detroit, giving the nine-year veteran a team-high 95 tackles this season. With five more tackles, Bulluck will achieve his seventh consecutive season with 100 or more tackles. Since entering the starting lineup at the start of the 2002 season, he has not missed a single game and has eclipsed the 100-tackle mark in every campaign. The club’s complete tackle statistics date back to 1979. Since then, Bulluck is the leader in consecutive seasons with 100 or more tackles. His six 100-tackle seasons are one more than second-place Gregg Bingham, who notched 100 stops for five consecutive non-strike seasons from 1979-84 (the 1982 season was shortened to nine games due to strike). Tackles are not considered an official NFL statistic. The Titans use tackle figures based on coaches’ review of game film. Most consecutive 100-tackle seasons by Oilers/Titans since 1979*: Player Pos 1. Keith Bulluck LB 2. Gregg Bingham LB 3. Robert Abraham LB 4.

TITANS IMPROVE BIG-PLAY ABILITY: One of the Titans’ offseason priorities was to become more explosive on offense. With four games remaining in the regular season, the team has already surpassed last year’s output in plays of 30 yards or longer. The Titans offense has registered 13 plays of 30 or more yards in 2008 compared to 11 all of last year. Below is a list of the Titans big plays (30-plus yards) in 2008, ranked in order of length: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 13.

80-yard touchdown run by LenDale White at Kansas City, 10/19 66-yard touchdown run by Chris Johnson at Kansas City, 10/19 58-yard touchdown run by Chris Johnson at Detroit, 11/27 56-yard touchdown pass from Kerry Collins to Justin Gage at Jacksonville, 11/16 54-yard run by LenDale White vs. Green Bay, 11/2 54-yard pass from Vince Young to Ahmard Hall at Detroit, 11/27 51-yard run by Chris Johnson at Cincinnati, 9/14 47-yard pass from Kerry Collins to Justin Gage at Jacksonville, 11/16 44-yard pass from Kerry Collins to Bo Scaife vs. Jacksonville, 9/7 38-yard touchdown pass from Kerry Collins to Justin Gage at Jacksonville, 11/16 37-yard pass from Kerry Collins to Justin McCareins vs. Houston, 9/21 37-yard pass from Kerry Collins to Justin Gage vs. N.Y. Jets, 11/23 32-yard pass from Kerry Collins to Justin McCareins vs. Houston, 9/21

FIELD GOALS OF 40+ YARDS: Kicker Rob Bironas made four field goals from beyond 40 yards last week at Detroit, giving him a career-high 14 field goals of 40-plus yards this season. Bironas has made more field goals from beyond 40 yards than any other NFL kicker this season, although he has yet to record an attempt from 50 yards. The NFL record for most field goals of 40-plus yards in a single season is 19 by Neil Rackers in 2005.
