As we turn the calendar to a new month, the Tennessee Titans decided to have a little fun with their fans on Saturday for April Fools’ Day.
After it was revealed the Titans are planning to finally wear their Houston Oilers throwbacks for a home game in 2023, fans have been excited to get more information on when that will be.
Well, the Titans took full advantage of that fact on Saturday, with the social media team posting what appeared to be a video of an Oilers throwbacks reveal that turned out to be a screen grab.
While it did look like a screenshot to me initially, I held out hope my eyes were playing tricks on me and tried clicking on it anyway. Well played, Titans.

We still don’t know when the Titans will wear their throwbacks, but based on the opinion of longtime beat writer John McClain, the Titans may not wear them against the Houston Texans like many hope.
Since Amy Adams Strunk has resided in the Houston area her entire life and knows how it would infuriate fans in her hometown, I doubt she's going to do it against the Texans. I hope she does. It would ignite the long-overdue rivalry!
