NASHVILLE Jace Sternberger Jersey , Tenn. (AP)The Tennessee Titans are heading into their 20th season with that nickname sporting a new look that wound up more of an update featuring some subtle changes.And the Titans themselves love the redesign.”This is that fierce, tough, Titan look that we all wanted,” linebacker Brian Orakpo said decked out in the all-white road uniform. ”I was kind of skeptical at first with the whole new uniform change and things like that because you got so accustomed to the old ones. But these, we’re going to love them. I know the rest of the guys are going to love them too.”The Titans unveiled the first major redesign of their uniforms in two decades Wednesday night with quite a party of a fashion show. An estimated 20,000 fans packed shoulder to shoulder over two city blocks blocked off on Nashville’s famous honky tonk row for the event being capped with a concert by popular country pop duo Florida Georgia Line and fireworks.”Man, it was electric,” All-Pro safety Kevin Byard said. ”I didn’t realize how many people were out there until I actually got on stage and it was stretching out so far back on Broadway man it was excellent man just to see so many fans excited to see this jersey even though the leak and things like that it’s definitely great.”Quarterback Marcus Mariota, Byard, Orakpo, tight end Delanie Walker and Pro Bowlers in left tackle Taylor Lewan and defensive lineman Jurrell Casey showed off the variety of options on a stage across the river from Nissan Stadium.Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk gave some tips at the NFL owners meetings Dexter Williams Jersey , noting all her friends in Tennessee and Texas have been trying to get her to spill what the uniforms will look like. She had promised a ”significant” change to what was first introduced in April 1999 as part of the franchise’s switch from the Tennessee Oilers and the old Houston logo and uniforms.The Titans’ uniforms went through very minor tweaks in 2012, with Nike unveiling some new technology, but essentially the look remained the same.The biggest switch comes with the helmet as the Titans are going from white with two navy blue stripes to navy blue with one stripe in two-toned silver for a sword. The fireball remains on the sides.For the jersey, the Titans will wear navy at home, white on the road and light blue as the color rush option. The change comes on the shoulders with a two-toned silver mimicking the sword in the team logo along with a new light blue insert under each arm. There’s also a two-tone silver stripe on the outside of the pants.The numbers feature a point in honor of the state’s northeast corner, with red stars from the Tennessee flag inside the back neckline.Tennessee has been teasing the new uniforms for weeks after the franchise was routed by New England in the divisional round of the playoffs before firing coach Mike Mularkey and then hiring new coach Mike Vrabel .Eddie George, who helped introduce the original uniforms in 1999, was on hand with Frank Wycheck, Blaine Bishop and Craig Hentrich. George said he was a bit jealous of the upgrade and noted that the Titans went to their lone Super Bowl in Atlanta the last time the team unveiled new uniforms.”So hopefully the signs are all heading toward having a great year for the Titans and ending in Atlanta with us crossing over the 1-yard line for a win, a Super Bowl win,” George said. ”So I’m hoping it all leads to that great outcome.”The big show and turnout should only help Nashville’s bid to host the NFL draft in either 2019 or 2020 Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , a decision being made at the spring NFL owners’ meetings.”I think Nashville needs to host the NFL draft,” Adams Strunk told fans.— INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys‘ new triplets looked untouchable for five weeks.Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper worked in perfect unison through the air and Ezekiel Elliott decimated defenses on the ground.On Sunday, the Cowboys got a humbling reminder of how fleeting success can be in the NFL. Cooper was a nonfactor, the Cowboys were forced to abandon the ground game in the second half, and their five-game winning streak and chance to clinch the NFC East came crashing down in a 23-0 loss at Indianapolis.“We can’t win like that,” Dak Prescott said. “We’re hurting ourselves, simple as that. Playing behind the chains, penalties, sacks, incompletions, whatever it may be. We just hurt ourselves from the beginning all the way to the end http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/anthony-zettel-jersey , and we never really gave ourselves a chance.”The Cowboys (8-6) will get another opportunity to wrap up the division crown next week at home against Tampa Bay. First they must figure out what went wrong on their first road trip in four weeks.Dallas produced 292 yards in offense, its lowest total since Cooper was acquired in a Week 9 trade. Elliott carried the ball 18 times for 87 yards and had seven catches for 41 yards, but also was thrown for a 2-yard loss and lost a fumble on fourth-and-1 from the Colts 3 early in the second quarter.The goal-line stop typified the Cowboys’ bad day.Cooper had four receptions for 32 yards, Prescott wound up 24 of 39 with 206 yards and one interception, and Dallas was shut out for the first time since a 12-0 loss to the Patriots on Nov. 16, 2003.While the Cowboys had chances to break through, the Colts (8-6) always had an answer — from Denico Autry’s blocked field-goal attempt on the game’s opening possession right down to George Odum’s interception of Prescott deep in Colts territory on the Cowboys’ final drive.“We didn’t play well enough in any phase of this game to win it,” coach Jason Garrett said after Indy celebrated its first shutout in more than four years. “We didn’t deserve to win, they did.”Even the Cowboys’ usually reliable defense wore down.Just three plays after the blocked field goal, Marlon Mack’s physical 19-yard run established a tone Dallas never really changed. Five plays later, Mack scored on a 1-yard plunge for the only points Indy (8-6) needed to stay in the AFC’s playoff hunt.Mack torched the league’s No. 3 run defense for a career-high 139 yards on 22 carries and tied a career best with two rushing scores. While Indy has won seven of eight http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/jahlani-tavai-jersey , this one came on a day Andrew Luck went 16 of 27 with 192 yards, no scores, no interceptions and no sacks.“We were just able to sustain some drives and keep getting him (Mack) carries,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “We were really good on third down and that was big, because when you’re good on third down, you just get more rushing attempts.”It also was crucial to holding the Cowboys’ offense in check on a day the teams combined for 15 possessions.The difference: Indy capitalized on virtually every Cowboys mistake. Tyquan Lewis’ sack knocked the Cowboys out of field-goal range late in the first half, and a holding call against Anthony Brown on third down set up Adam Vinatieri’s 43-yard field goal to make it 10-0 at the half.Mack capped a seven-play drive with a 6-yard TD run to open the second half and Vinatieri sealed the win with two more field goals — immediately after Pierre Desir and Darius Leonard broke up passes.“We didn’t give ourselves a chance,” Prescott said. “We weren’t scoring and so it wasn’t a complementary game of football. That’s what we’ve been playing these last five weeks and we didn’t do that tonight.”
