How the Tennessee Titans history timeline works

Each card in the Titans deck is a franchise moment, including its years under an earlier name, with a sentence of description below. You place the cards in order by year, starting with one card already down and dated. Each new card then needs a gap, and you pick it. When the gap is right, its year appears; when it isn't, the card moves to where it belongs and costs you one of three lives.

This franchise spent a long stretch in Texas under another name, and its move to Tennessee came in stages that the deck tracks closely. Famous comebacks and playoff miracles, both won and lost, are the cards that trip people up most. Workhorse running backs also show up in several eras, so a big rushing season in the description isn't a sure sign of the modern game.
