TITANS DEFENSE: OVERALL (22), RUSH (3), PASS (31), SCORING (11).

TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Jaguars plus-1; Titans plus-2.

JAGUARS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Trevor Lawrence. The second-year player insists he plans to play despite a sprained big toe on his left foot. He needs only 166 yards to reach 3,000 yards passing for the season, which would make him the first player in franchise history to reach that mark in the first two seasons of his career.

TITANS PLAYER TO WATCH: Derrick Henry against the Jaguars’ run defense. The two-time NFL rushing champ has been held to 38 and 30 yards in each of the past two games. But Henry has averaged 5.4 yards per carry and has 1,143 yards rushing in his career against the Jaguars, including 14 TD runs.

KEY MATCHUP: QB Ryan Tannehill and the Titans passing offense against the Jaguars pass defense. The Titans have shown signs of life in that area despite averaging only 171.4 passing yards per game since the return of rookie WR Treylon Burks. They also might get WR Racey McMath back from injured reserve for this game. The Jaguars are giving up 255.5 yards passing per game.

KEY INJURIES: Burks and Titans rookie CB Tre Avery both are in the concussion protocol. Titans CB Kristian Fulton (groin) and ILB David Long (hamstring) also were knocked out of the Eagles loss by injuries. Titans sack leader Denico Autry has missed two straight games with an injured knee and likely will miss his third Sunday. Tannehill, who missed two games earlier this season with a sprained right ankle, was limited after hurting his left ankle last week. Jaguars WR Zay Jones (chest) and S Andre Cisco (shoulder) both were limited in practice.

SERIES NOTES: The Jaguars are the Titans’ longest current division rival going back to Jacksonville’s debut as an expansion franchise in 1995. The Titans have won five straight to match their longest winning streak in this series. They’ve also won nine of the past 10. Titans QB Ryan Tannehill is 7-2 all time against the Jaguars, and Titans coach Mike Vrabel is 7-1 against the Jaguars.
