Did a search going back to 1999 on all backup QBs the titans played against.
To preface, there were other games against QB that became backups but if they were the scheduled starter for a particular year, I neglected that game (ex: Brian hoyer on Cle, he was planned starter before Manziel). Also added a few games that a backup came in appx half way through the game or earlier.
By all means, everyone is free to check my memory and what I reviewed over that many games, could have missed some.

That’s every game I can see with a backup (not THAT year’s team starter) that Tennessee has gone against.
Overall record: I’m counting 44-18. I can see where reputation could be built from 2014-2016 when they lost 5 in a row.
Some pretty modest numbers too.
8 300 yd QBs.
58 passing TD which is <1 /game.
We’ve played 24 teams against a backup QB, most common are Hou (7), Ind (6), Jax/Balt/clev (5), Mia/ Pit/ Min/ Chi/ ARZ (3).
Most common backup QB:
sage Rosenfels/Anthony Wright/Cody Kessler (3),
Damon Huard/Doug Peterson/josh Mccown/Ken Dorsey/Brodie Croyle/Trent Edwards/Shaun hill/jacoby Brissett (2).
