JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — There are few, if any, reasons to watch Tennessee and Jacksonville on Thursday night.
Getting the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft should help either team, and the Thursday night's loser would move closer to securing the top pick.
The Jaguars have dropped six of seven,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, have scored two offensive touchdowns in the past four games and are without their top rusher, top receiver and top tackler.

Not even fantasy owners could have much interest in this prime-time matchup.
"I don't know where you heard that," Whisenhunt said. "That's something that we said we'd discuss. That's not a question that we want to discuss in-season. That's something we'd go through after the season is over and go back and look at all of the snaps and go from there."
"A lot of people will turn the TV on Thursday night football and there's nothing else to watch,Cheap Jerseys From China," Titans receiver Kendall Wright said. "We're going to try to give them a show either way."
