NFL Power Rankings, Week 13: 49ers thrash Packers, Patriots handle Cowboys

13. Tennessee Titans (15)
Don’t look now, but the Tennessee Titans appear to be heating up at the right time, and could end up with one of the playoff spots in the AFC if they continue to play on this high of a level.
Whether it happens to be moving ahead of the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts for the division title or simply earning one of the Wild Card spots, the Titans will take whatever they can get at this point.
Never in a million years did any football fan expect Ryan Tannehill to be one of the saviors for this Tennessee team on offense, but the former Miami Dolphins starter has provided a much needed spark to the unit.
Back when Mike Vrabel made the switch to Tannehill over Marcus Mariota, most fans assumed the struggles would continue since the offensive line appeared to be an absolute mess.
Between Tannehill’s four touchdowns (two rushing) along with Derrick Henry rushing for 159 yards and two scores of his own, Tennessee’s offense is playing on a ridiculous level at the moment.
As long as this surprise play on offense continues with Tannehill under center, the Titans are going to be difficult to beat throughout December.
