NFL Power Rankings, Week 14: Ravens perched atop AFC, Packers bounce back
By Dan Parzych
11. Tennessee Titans (13)
Even though the Tennessee Titans have worked their way into becoming one of the hottest teams in football over the last month or so, there were still concerns for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts due to previous struggles.
To say the Colts have been a major issue for the Titans over the years would be a huge understatement, which is why Sunday’s 31-17 win over Indianapolis must have Tennessee feeling amazing at the moment since this should be viewed as another statement victory.
Between a strong second half by the Titans in general along with Derrick Henry rushing for 149 yards with a score, there were plenty of factors that stood out for Tennessee to help earn their fifth win in six games.
Most importantly, Ryan Tannehill continues to show that Mike Vrabel making the switch from Marcus Mariota was the best thing to happen to the Titans after the quarterback completed 17-of-22 passes for 182 yards with two touchdowns in the win.
Some had their doubts about Tennessee’s decision from the offseason to bring Tannehill on board as an insurance policy, but no one seems to be questioning the move anymore now that he has the Titans in great position for a playoff run.
