Titans' Monty Rice: Records 13 tackles in loss
Rice registered 13 tackles (eight solo) in Thursday's 27-13 loss to the Cowboys.
Rice was all over the field Thursday, recording a season-high 13 tackles while playing 82 percent of the defensive snaps. Since David Long (elbow) went down in Week 13, Rice has seen a significant increase in usage, producing 39 tackles and a pass deflection over the last four contests. The linebacker will in all likelihood remain busy in the Titans' regular season finale against the Jaguars in Week 18.

Rice posted 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars.
Rice started at inside linebacker Sunday after David Long landed on injured reserve with an elbow injury sustained Week 13 against Philadelphia.

Rice has now totaled 19 tackles while stepping into a larger role over the past two games, and he's likely to continue seeing prominent usage Week 15 against the Chargers.
