Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, number one! That was one of the all-time fight songs in NFL history. Many younger fans don\u2019t know that catchy refrain, but if you\u2019re familiar with the Houston Oilers\/Tennessee Titans, you know it well. The Houston Oilers started as an AFL team in 1960 and won league titles in both \u201860 and \u201861<\/a>. They eventually merged into the NFL. Their home was the infamous Astrodome \u2026 also known as \u2026. the House of Pain. In 1997, the franchise moved to Nashville and was rebranded as the Tennessee Titans. Bruising backs Earl Campbell<\/a> and Eddie George<\/a> may be the most prominent names in this team\u2019s history, but they needed some decent gunslingers in H-Town to get the team those AFL championships and 20 visits to the NFL playoffs. Houston, we have some quarterbacks. Let\u2019s launch the list of the top quarterbacks of all time for the Houston Oilers\/Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
