After two straight losing seasons and an 0-5 start this year, Tennessee Titans fans didn't have much to cheer about.
Don't tell that to anyone now.
Titans fans around the city were ecstatic Sunday after the team's 20-17 victory over division leader Indianapolis. The dramatic win, on a 60-yard field goal in the closing seconds, came a week after a comeback upset of the New York Giants.
"We're the new thing," said Will Hagan of Goodlettsville as he dined at The Sportsgrille at the Hilton Downtown after the game.
"We have a great quarterback, and we're getting there. We're a couple of players away from being not a Super Bowl team, but a playoff team."
The team's recent success seems to have energized a fan base once content to call this a rebuilding year. As the players on the field have improved, so has the attitude surrounding the team.

"If you're a Titans fan and they win, you feel good. It's almost like you get a vicarious winning feeling because they won."
