The fight peaked when one of the guys threw a really strong punch, making the other guy stumble and fall to the ground. After that, they were finally pulled apart.
Coming back to the 2023 NFL landscape, the Tennessee Titans aimed to bounce back to the playoffs after a miss in 2018. However, their hopes were dashed after a Week 15 overtime loss to the Houston Texans, marking their second consecutive year of elimination from playoff contention. A subsequent defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 put the team in the last place in the AFC South, preventing an improvement on their 7–10 record from the previous year.
On the other hand, the Jacksonville Jaguars had a strong start to the season with an 8–3 record. Unfortunately, they experienced a late-season collapse, losing five of their final six games. This downturn, coupled with a defeat to the Tennessee Titans in Week 18, led to the Jaguars missing out on the AFC South division title to the Houston Texans and ultimately being excluded from the playoffs.
