Just when it looked like Titans RB Chris Johnson was rounding into form for a big finish, he’s gone out and posted 2-straight duds. After crushing owners with a 66-total-yard performance in Week 15, CJ was only a bit better against the Colts on Sunday. He cobbled together just 55 yards on 15 carries, and that included a 35-yard scamper. The same problems continue to haunt this running game. Johnson is hit behind the line of scrimmage far too often. And when he does get into space, he’s not making people miss. Luckily, Johnson got involved in the passing game Sunday, hauling in a season-high 8 balls for 54 yards. He had what appeared to be a 49-yard receiving score in the 4th quarter, but replay review showed that he was down by contact after just a 5-yard gain. While it’s tough to complain about a 109-total-yard day, owners were surely looking for more in a plus matchup against the Colts. The sledding shouldn’t be much tougher against the Jaguars in Week 16 though.
