NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: 49ers embarrass Panthers, Eagles shock Bills

17. Tennessee Titans (23)

First off, what on earth was Mike Vrabel thinking towards the end of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after almost costing the Tennessee Titans a win?

For a head coach that has been on the hot seat in recent weeks, Vrabel’s decision to go for a fake field goal that resulted in a fumble with his team up four points towards the end of Sunday’s game almost turned out to be costly, but luckily the Titans earned the win.

Still, when taking into consideration how desperate Tennessee is for wins at this point in the season, it’s tough not to wonder what the aftermath could have been surrounding Vrabel if the Titans ended up losing this game to the Buccaneers.

On another note, even though it wasn’t the most impressive performance in the world, it was great to see Ryan Tannehill earn another win as Tennessee’s start after finishing with three touchdown passes.

All of a sudden, Marcus Mariota‘s future with the Titans continues to be up in the air, but also Tennessee knows that Tannehill still has plenty to prove, and the next few weeks will certainly give the team a better idea of where he truly stands.
