Offensive line has been a problem all year, but in no game more so than today.

4:40 left: Wow. Derrick Henry fumbles again, but Ben Jones recovers. Henry ran into Kevin Rader before fumbling.

10:28 left: Touchdown Chargers. Austin Ekeler from three yards out. He had a tough run for 12 yards to set up first and goal the play before.

We'll see if the Titans offense can get this thing back on track, but the sack and missed field goal sequence on the previous drive changed the mood of this game.

PAT good. Chargers 14, Titans 7.

11:49 left: Justin Herbert, on the run, finds Keenan Allen down the left sideline for a big gain. 31-yard catch for Allen. LAC driving.

Second quarter

7 seconds left: Roger McCreary tips the ball to Joshua Kalu for the INT. Wow. Saves the Titans points. All happened in the end zone. A mistake by Justin Herbert but one heckuva play for the Titans secondary. First takeaway in five games.

12:24 left: Chargers punt. Ryan Tannehill coming back into the game.

Ryan Tannehill back on sideline

13:35 left: Titans offense doesn't always look smooth in normal circumstances. With Malik Willis inserted and Derrick Henry starting slowly, these aren't normal circumstances.

Not much Henry can do when he's having to avoid defenders at or behind the line of scrimmage so often.

Titans punt. Austin Ekeler out of the tent and ready to play, looks like. Ryan Tannehill also back on the sideline with a heavily taped right ankle. No helmet in hand yet, though.

15:00 left: Dillon Radunz, playing at left tackle, called for holding on a Malik Willis scramble. Dennis Daley was the starting LT today, but some rotation happening.

First quarter

2:57 left: Good, confident throw by Willis to find Chris Conley for a third down conversion.

4:25 left: Malik Willis in the game at quarterback for the Titans.

Chargers take early lead as Ryan Tannehill carted off with ankle injury

Pregame

Jaguars win in OT on pick-six

What a game in Jacksonville, with Rayshawn Jenkins' 52-yard interception return off of a Dak Prescott tipped pass giving the Jaguars a 40-34 win over the Cowboys in OT.

A possibly monumental outcome in the AFC South. Titans now need to win today to preserve a two-game lead in the division.

Current AFC South standings

1. Titans 7-6

2. Jaguars 6-8

3. Colts 4-9-1

4. Texans 1-12-1

Cowboys-Jaguars to OT

Trevor Lawrence fumbled late, but the Jaguars got the ball back and quickly drove for a game-tying field goal as time expired.

Cowboys 34, Jaguars 34 in OT. Jacksonville gets the ball to start OT.

Cowboys back on top

Dak Prescott escapes the pocket and finds Noah Brown for a go-ahead touchdown with 3:02 left. Cowboys retake the lead, 34-31. Trevor Lawrence going to need another drive at the end of the game.

Jaguars take lead vs. Cowboys

A game Titans fans should have an eye on is the Jaguars hosting the Cowboys in Jacksonville. Dallas had a 27-10 lead in the third quarter, but Trevor Lawrence has thrown three touchdown passes in consecutive possessions to lead 31-27 in the fourth quarter.

A Jags win puts the pressure on the Titans heading into today's game. Remember, the Jags and Titans play Week 18 in Jacksonville. Titans are currently 7-6, while Jacksonville came into today at 5-8.

Derwin James inactive for LA Chargers

The Titans announced their large list of players out with injury on Friday, including Denico Autry, Kristian Fulton, Treylon Burks and Amani Hooker. Tennessee's defense has a tall task today against Justin Herbert and a Chargers offense that is getting healthier.

Derwin James, the do-everything safety, is out for LA today. That is a big loss for the Chargers defense.

Tennessee and the LA Chargers begin in about 45 minutes in SoFi Stadium.
