Game History between Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins

Tennessee Titans 

Tennessee TitansNashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins rivalry dates back to 1971, a year after the merger of the American Football League and National Football League. The Redskins defeated the then – Houston Oilers by a final score of 22-13 on October 10th, 1971 in the first of 12 meetings in the regular season.

The series is currently tied 6-6. The Titans have a 3-2 record at home against the Redskins and are 3-4 on the road.

In the most recent Titans-Redskins meeting, played on October 19th, 2014, the Redskins won on a 22-yard field goal by Kai Forbath as time expired in the fourth quarter.

Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy came off the bench for Kirk Cousins to complete 11 of 12 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown, outdueling Titans starter Charlie Whitehurst.

The last time the Redskins visited Nissan Stadium was Week 11 of the 2010 campaign. In that game, Graham Gano booted a 48-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Redskins to a 19-16 win. Although Vince Young began the game at quarterback, his injury in the third quarter forced third-stringer Rusty Smith into the game with Kerry Collins inactive due to a calf injury.

On August 12th, 1995, a historic preseason game was played when the then – Houston Oilers traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee, to play a preseason game with the Redskins. The teams spent the previous two days practicing together at Maryville College outside of Knoxville. The same weekend, then-owner K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. entered into an exclusive negotiating period with the city of Nashville to relocate the Oilers to Tennessee. An agreement was finalized by November of the same year.

In 1975, the Oilers earned a 13-10 win over the Redskins, giving them their first franchise win over an NFC team.
