History of the Titans

The Tennessee Titans have a long and storied history in the NFL. Founded as the Houston Oilers in 1959, they were part of the original eight teams that formed what is now known as the American Football League (AFL). The team relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in 1997 and was renamed to its current moniker. During their time on both sides of Texas, they won two AFL Championships (1960 & 1961) and one AFC Championship (1999).

Throughout their existence, some of football's greatest players have donned a Titans jersey including legendary quarterback Warren Moon who led them from 1984-1993; running back Eddie George who rushed for over 10 thousand yards during his tenure with them; Hall Of Fame defensive end Bruce Matthews whose career spanned 14 seasons with them; wide receiver Derrick Mason who set numerous franchise records while playing for them from 1997-2004; and many more.

The Titans' most successful season came in 1999 when they went 13–3 under head coach Jeff Fisher en route to winning Super Bowl XXXIV against St Louis Rams 23–16 at Atlanta’s Georgia Dome. It was an unforgettable performance by Steve McNair leading his offense along with Jevon Kearse anchoring defense which earned him Defensive Player Of The Year honors that year! This championship victory marked only the second time since 1960 that an expansion team had captured the league title just four years after joining the NFL family!

Since then though it has been mostly a disappointment for fans despite making playoffs five times between 2002 - 2008 but being unable to advance beyond the divisional round on each occasion except 2007 when lost the conference championship game vs Pittsburgh Steelers 21 – 18. They are currently rebuilding process under new General Manager Jon Robinson but hope remains high among supporters regarding this young core talent can bring glory days back sooner rather than later!
