GARDEN CITY, NY - AUGUST 21: Spectators look skyward during a partial eclipse of the sun on August 21, 2017 at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, New York. Millions of people have flocked to areas of the U.S. that are in the 'path of totality' in order to experience a total solar eclipse. During the event, the moon will pass in between the sun and the Earth, appearing to block the sun. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)

The Tennessee Titans were on the practice field for Monday’s total solar eclipse.

The Tennessee Titans knocked it out of the park with their song choice for Monday’s total solar eclipse.

While Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera went the cliché route and chose Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, the Titans were a little more creative.

Yep, that’s right, the Titans chose Bruce Springsteen’s classic “Blinded by the Light”.

Major props to the Titans, by the way, for electing to go with Springsteen’s version of the song, instead of Manfred Mann’s cover.

This is easily one of Springsteen’s best songs, and it’s way better than the cover (obviously this is subjective, but if you disagree, you’re wrong). And it’s definitely a better choice than “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.

Anyway, the Titans were pretty lucky to be right in the path of totality. They were fortunate enough to experience an incredibly rare phenomenon.

You can see the mesmerizing effects of the eclipse in the photo below.

I have to admit, the eclipse was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever seen. My mind was blown by the fact that scientists knew decades ago the exact date that this would take place.

And if you weren’t able to get close to the path of totality this time around, you’re in luck. The next total solar eclipse takes place just seven years from now, on April 8, 2024.

Perhaps the Titans will have a Super Bowl trophy or two (or three) to join them as they watch the next total solar eclipse.
