Thursday Night Football takes place tonight with the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars set to fight it out at the bottom of the NFL.

Tonight's game sees two of the worst teams in the league battle it out. The match up takes place from EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Florida and will start at 8.25 p.m. EDT. Thursday Night Football will be broadcast on the NFL network but can also be watched online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Both the Titans and Jaguars come into today's game with 2-12, tied for the worst record in the NFL.

At this stage of the season, many Jaguars and Titans fans may well be urging their team to lose today and again next week in their final games of the season, in the hope of gaining the first pick in the draft next season. However, other fans - as well as most players and coaches - are saying they'd never intentionally want to lose a game, and that they would cheer and go all out for the win.

Indeed, just last weekend the Titans faced the New York Jets, who also came into that game on 2-11. The Jets won the game 16-11, moving them to 3-11, and dropping the Titans to 2-12. That result sparked much criticism in some circles in New York that the team had shot themselves in the foot by dropping out of the race for the first pick in next season's draft. But staff and players were unapologetic after the game, saying they'd never play to lose, and that they were celebrating the rare and refreshing win.

For one of the teams today, it will be a refreshing third win of the season, where as for the other it will be a 13th loss in a painful and seemingly never ending season.

The Titans will follow up today's road game by returning home for the final game of their season next week when they host the Indianapolis Colts.

The Jaguars meanwhile will go on the road for their final game next week to take on the Houston Texans. The Jaguars come into today's game with the slightly better recent record, after defeating the New York Giants three weeks ago for their second win of the season. Whether they will be able to follow that up this week with another win remains to be seen.
