Hello. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a Tennessee Titans fan. You’ve been through a lot recently. It’s been a long two years. Or depending on how you look at it, it’s been a long 10,000 days or so. You deserve a win.

This summer, The Tennessean is embarking on a painstaking project to remember, rank and commemorate the 25 greatest moments in Titans history (1999-2024). The comebacks, the trick plays, the upsets, the miracles. They’re all here.

So what do we mean when we say greatest moments? We’re not necessarily ranking games, though a great game can be a moment. And we’re not necessarily ranking plays, though a great play certainly qualifies. What we’re ranking, more than anything else, are feelings. Memories. Hope. Joy. Collective relief.

The highlights Titans fans can rewatch and still experience the satisfaction.

We tried our hardest to consider moments from every era of Titans football, but great memories tend to be concentrated among periods featuring great teams. As such, don’t hold your breath waiting for entries about the ‘04 Titans, the ‘14 Titans or the ‘24 Titans. But if you want to be regaled with stories highlighting the best of Steve McNair, Eddie George, Vince Young, Chris Johnson, Marcus Mariota, Derrick Henry and more, you’re in the right place.

We’ll be updating the list daily, with one vignette going up each day that’ll try to recapture the raw emotion, jubilation, novelty and cultural significance of each moment. Along the way, we’ll also talk about fireworks, dating, the Wu-Tang Clan, cupcakes, Wile E. Coyote and 25-year-old vampire shows and how they all relate to the rich tapestry that is Titans history.

I’m Nick Suss, Titans beat writer for The Tennessean, and I’ll guide through this journey. I hope you enjoy our picks for the 25 greatest moments in Titans history.
