So far, so good.   With his stellar performance this year, Titans running back Chris Johnson has proved that his prolific rookie campaign wasn't a fluke. And chances are, he'll be a force for years to come, regardless of whether his team is winning or not (see: this year). But just how many years is the question, given the historically volatile nature of his position.  Over the years, all have shown the signs. From Franco Harris to Eric...  

Opposing defenses beware: Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans is a running back to be taken very seriously. Due largely to the stellar performance of Johnson, the Titans earned their second win of the season, prevailing 34-27 over the San Fransisco 49ers at Candlestick Park, Sunday afternoon. Johnson's 25-carry, 135-yard effort on Sunday was peppered with highlight reel moments as he cut, weaved, and utterly outran the Niners defenders...  

With Tennessee Titans running back Chris "I'll see you in the end zone" Johnson rapidly piling up yards this season, there has been much speculation as to whether or not he will eclipse the 2,000 yard mark. Through nine weeks Johnson is averaging just over 121 yards per game. With seven games remaining on the schedule, this average will put him at 1,939 yards, just shy of the goal. But when you consider his last four games, three of which are...  

Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson addresses the New England media during his conference call on Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Q: How important is it to grind it out against the Patriots who are going to come out and look to establish their dominance in this game? CJ: It's very important because we know there have been teams able to run the ball. Not get like real big gains on them, but been able to grind it out and get three or four...

The fans in Houston always have hated the Titans as the team that left town without looking back. Now Tennessee linebacker Keith Bulluck may have stirred up things between the players. Bulluck said Thursday the Texans treated their 34-31 win over Tennessee like the AFC championship game than Week 2 of the regular season.  

Rob Bironas kicked a 53-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining as the Tennessee Titans beat the Houston Texans 20-17 for their fourth straight NFL victory after losing their first six games. The Texans had a chance to level it, but Kris Brown's 49-yard attempt with 1 second remaining was wide left.  

Chris Johnson got his Terrell Owens' jersey Sunday without having to buy it through the receiver's Web site. Johnson ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns, and he caught nine passes for 100 more and the Tennessee Titans beat the Buffalo Bills 41-17 Sunday for their third straight victory.

Listen to the Tennessee Titans talk, and it's clear their swagger is back. So what if they're 3-6? Chris Johnson talks about Tennessee winning out after an 0-6 start. Linebacker Keith Bulluck says the team once again feels it can beat anyone in the NFL, the same feeling it had when it started last season 10-0.  

Tennessee receiver Kenny Britt will make his first NFL start Sunday against Buffalo, replacing Justin Gage who was deactivated. Gage has several broken transverse process bones in his lower back from a leaping catch a week ago in a win at San Francisco. Britt is the Titans' first-round draft pick out of Rutgers.  

Houston's Steve Slaton and Tennessee's Chris Johnson were two of the best rookie running backs in the NFL last season. Slaton was the top rusher among rookies with 1,282 yards and Johnson was third behind Chicago's Matt Forte with 1,228. Their careers have taken very different turns this season as they prepare to meet Monday night when the Texans host the Titans.  

The Titans certainly know how to make things exciting, whether it's Chris Johnson running wild, Vince Young reviving his career or finding ways to win in the fourth quarter. After winning four straight after an 0-6 start, the team isn't ready to write this season off. "We're playing real good and we have a lot of confidence going with this team right now, and we are just going to...  

The NFL has fined Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee's victory over the Bills.
