Tennessee Titans Tickets Continued
Tennessee Titans, professional football team and one of six teams in the Central Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The team formerly played in Houston, Texas, as the Houston Oilers. The Titans now play in Adelphia Coliseum in Nashville, Tennessee, and wear uniforms of blue, red, and white. The team's logo is a white T surrounded by three red stars. The team's name was chosen because in Greek mythology Titans exemplified the characteristics of power, strength, knowledge, and excellence.
The Houston Oilers fielded strong teams in the now-defunct American Football League (AFL), capturing two league titles and reaching the playoffs five times before the AFL and NFL completed their merger in 1970. The Oilers were one of the AFC's most consistent teams during the late 1980s and early 1990s, making seven consecutive postseason appearances from 1987 to 1993.
Houston joined the NFL in 1970 as part of the NFL-AFL merger.
In 1978 Houston drafted Earl Campbell, who became one of the most prolific runners in NFL history, capturing four consecutive rushing titles from 1978 to 1981 and two straight most valuable player (MVP) awards in 1978 and 1979. Campbell led the Oilers to consecutive appearances in the AFC Championship Game in 1978 and 1979, but the Pittsburgh Steelers, the eventual Super Bowl champions, defeated Houston in both of these contests.
In 1997 the Oilers moved to Tennessee, where they played in the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis. After the 1998 season the team moved to Nashville and was renamed the Titans. In 1999 the Titans finished with a 13-3 record, and in the postseason they reached the Super Bowl, where they lost to the St. Louis Rams.
