In college football, the earth moved in Athens — Auburn walked into Georgia and snapped a fifty-three game win streak against unranked opponents, the longest active streak in the FBS. The Bulldogs had been untouchable against unranked competition for years, and just like that, it's gone. Auburn sent a message to the entire SEC.
Shifting to the NFL, the Tennessee Titans made a notable call before kickoff against Indianapolis — cornerback Alontae Taylor has been ruled inactive, and a team source confirms to ESPN it has nothing to do with injury. This is purely a coach's decision, which raises real questions about Taylor's standing in Mike Vrabel's program heading into the back half of the season.
Meanwhile in London, the Houston Texans took a significant hit when starting safety Reed Blankenship went down with a concussion in the second quarter against Jacksonville. Losing a starter at safety mid-game across the Atlantic is no small thing, and the Texans will be watching his status closely as the week unfolds.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
