Summary:YOU CAN BET that Titans quarterback Kerry Collins took a close look at what Baltimore's fifth-ranked defense did to Miami's Chad Pennington last Sunday. That's because Collins and Pennington are similar quarterbacks, highly efficient passers who each threw just seven interceptions in the regular season. The Ravens' defense forced Pennington to throw four picks in the Dolphins' wild-card loss. The scheming between Collins and Baltimore safety Ed Reed will be one of the most intriguing aspects of the Titans-Ravens game tomorrow The Chargers have their own injury woes with running back LaDainian Tomlinson suffering a torn tendon in his groin. He is listed as doubtful. Tomlinson was limited against the Colts last week, which allowed fill-in Darren Sproles to thrive. His quickness put the Colts' defense on its heels, but that shouldn't be the case against Pittsburgh's rugged defense. With Tomlinson banged up, the pressure falls on QB Philip Rivers to deliver.
