    They're going to do an MRI, but it looks like he tore his left MCL.

    Huge blow to the Titans.

    O/U for Ravens-Steelers opened at 33 and closed at 34. What's surprising to me is that 77% of the public was on the over. #1 and #2 defense heads up and the public likes the over? Hmm

    I already thought tennessee wasn't going to do much in the playoffs. Now that Haynesworth likely has an MCL injury - you'd think they would likely be one and done.

    odds are they get the #1 seed, a bye, and then a home game.

    I think they'll either lose in the divisional round or the AFC Championship Game.

    worst case... completely torn is maximum 6 weeks... less for a lineman

    first round bye... 4+ weeks until their first game in the playoffs

    yes, but completely torn would mean he'd be fortunate to be back for the AFC Championship Game.

    Complete speculation. We'll have to wait to see what the results are.

    All things considered, I would LOVE to go to Tennessee for the AFC Championship game.

    Tennessee has gone from a surefire Super Bowl contender to a very beatable playoff team. It's going to be a crazy year in the AFC playoffs.

    Good. He's one of the few in the league that deserves to get injured. Scumbag.

    Sprained MCL. He'll miss the rest of the regular season, but with the bye week, he should be able to return for the divisional round.

    Riight here. Big Al is gonna be fine for the playoffs. I'm not laughing now though. Laughing time is over. It's time to get serious! On a side note. My condolences on the late season collapse. I know that feeling, and it aint good. Jets are a solid team though. They just need a new QB, and a new coach. They are definately gonna get a new coach, but I'm not so sure they won't have Farve back next year.
