Last meeting:
Asante Samuel picked off Vince Young twice as the Patriots rolled to a 40-23 win over the Titans in Week 17 of 2006.

Streaks:
The Patriots have taken four of the past five meetings and have a 21-16-1 overall series advantage, including the playoffs.

Last week:
New England struggled offensively in the second half and allowed Denver to rally for a 20-17 overtime win. ... The Titans fell to 0-5 with a 31-9 home loss to the Colts.

Keep your eye on ...

Tom Brady's accuracy: While Brady is completing 61.7 percent of his passes, his precision has deserted him at key moments this season. He was just 5-of-14 in the second half against the Broncos and in an earlier loss to the Jets, he completed only 23 of 47 passes. He should be able to connect on a much higher percentage against the Titans and their AFC-worst pass defense.

A potential Junior Seau sighting: Yes, he seems to be back -- again. The former Pro Bowl linebacker will apparently forgo retirement for yet another year to join the Patriots for a fourth straight season. Whether he will play is unknown, but his leadership on the sidelines could provide a boost for a largely inexperienced linebacking corps.

Vince Young's playing time: Kerry Collins remains the Titans' starting quarterback, but Young could see some action. He came in at the end of last Sunday's loss to Indianapolis and if things get out of hand at New England, he could get another look under center.

Did you know?
Titans QB Kerry Collins ranks third among active quarterbacks with 38,471 passing yards. ... Tennessee RB Chris Johnson is averaging 6 yards per carry this season. ... Since 2007, Tom Brady is 12-0 at Gillette Stadium with 25 touchdowns and just five interceptions. ... The Patriots' Kevin Faulk needs five receptions to become the 26th running back in league history with 400 catches.
