In fact, Dobbs wasn&#8217;t even considered to start against Dallas until late on Thursday. Dobbs was signed by the Titans off the Detroit Lions practice squad just over eight days ago and he got the nod to start ahead of\u00a0 Malik Willis as the rookie has not had much joy in his three starts.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FbGWtU1X8B8&#038;ab_channel=SkipandShannon<\/p>\n<p>As Tennessee is without first-choice quarterback Ryan Tannehill, they may opt to field Dobbs in their final regular season game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. If the Titans beat the Jaguars, Mike Vrabel&#8217;s side will be guaranteed of a place in the postseason.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019d take Joshua Dobbs as a backup to Jalen Hurts next year.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Joe Giglio (@JoeGiglioSports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeGiglioSports\/status\/1611921685783130112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is because they will have a better head-to-head record if the Jaguars manage to win in Week 17. As things stand, Jacksonville is leading the AFC South with a 7-8 record. Meanwhile, the Titans are on 7-9. Hence, Tennessee needs to win their final game of the regular season to qualify for the knockout stages as divisional winners.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More NFL news:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/super-bowl-winner-and-tv-personality-tony-siragusa-passes-away-aged-55\/\">Super Bowl winner and TV personality Tony Siragusa passes away aged 55<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/how-many-super-bowl-rings-does-rob-gronkowski-have\/\">How many Super Bowl rings does Rob Gronkowski have?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/deshaun-watson-has-settled-20-of-24-sexual-misbehavior-cases-filed-against-him\/\">Deshaun Watson has settled 20 of 24 sexual misbehaviour cases filed against him<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Follow our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nfl\/home\">NFL<\/a>\u00a0page for more key NFL updates and news<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tennessee Titans confirmed late on Thursday that Joshua Dobbs would be starting at quarterback for their Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
