Mike Vrabel Leads the NFL to the Future Past

Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill passed for 72 yards against the Patriots in the wild card round. He threw for only 88 last night against the Ravens. Tennessee, of course, won both games.

Believe it or not, this is not the first time this has happened in the Super Bowl era. Three other NFL teams accomplished the same odd feat of not passing for 100 yards in two playoff wins. Those were the 1972 and 1973 Dolphins and the 1974 Steelers. All of them of course won Super Bowl titles.

Equally of course, all three of them played when football was a very different sport with very different rules than it is today. No matter to the Titans. Their plan for revolutionizing pro football is to take it a half-century back in time.
