20. Tennessee Titans (14)

There has to be some talk behind closed doors about a potential change under center for the Tennessee Titans. Marcus Mariota has been the poster boy for inconsistent play and he once again had an ugly outing in Week 5 as the Titans fell to 2-3 with a 14-7 loss at the hands of the Buffalo Bills.

Mariota finished the game with only 183 yards passing and completed just 13 of 22 passes on the day. He was also sacked five times as he continues to hold on to the ball too long and struggles when his first read isn’t there. This isn’t to say Ryan Tannehill is the answer but he can at least push the ball downfield a little more than Mariota has shown.

It’s frustrating to watch, especially considering how stout the defense is for the Titans. Not only can they keep them in games but so too does the running of Derrick Henry. The former Heisman Trophy winner went for 78 yards and a touchdown and does enough to keep defenses honest in each and every game.

With all that said, they still feel loyal to the former No. 2 overall pick, even though they now have a record of 2-3 and are falling behind in the standings.
