Mike Munchak has conceded that his Tennessee Titans side will be facing one of the NFL's in-form teams when they play the Arizona Cardinals later today.
The NFC West side have won five of their last six games, leaving themselves in contention for a wild card spot in the playoffs.
The Titans head coach told reporters: "They're hot right now. They've beaten good football teams. They're 5-1 the last six weeks with three games to go.
"As a coach, you [want to be able to] say we're on a hot streak in December and we're right in the middle of it.
"They just happen to be in a division that's one of the better ones in the league right now."
The Titans have lost their last two games.
