The Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars practiced ahead of their game to determine the AFC South champion on Saturday night. “We just can’t take this game for granted because you never know,” Simmons said. “Sometimes we just get sidetracked. ... But the real reason why we play this game and sometimes we forget that, ... we’re playing for each other. We’re playing for our family. And most of all, just playing for ourselves because it’s all we’ve been knowing all our whole life.”
“In this situation, this is unprecedented, definitely in my time. ... I’ve never seen something where a player had to be given CPR on the field and supposedly didn’t have a pulse.” Rodgers said. “I thought, ‘There’s no way. They’re going to go back in the locker room and then come out and play. What? That can’t happen.’”
