Previous: 14th. Tennessee Titans. 13. team. 35. .

Last week, the Tennessee TItans had to claw back to pick up a thrilling win over the Seahawks in overtime. This week, Mike Vrabel’s team had to overcome more obstacles, most notably an early injury to star wide receiver A.J. Brown that kept him sidelined for the rest of the game, to beat a downtrodden division rival.

But credit to the Titans for weathering the storm yet again. Ryan Tannehill was throwing to guys like Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chester Rogers and still managed to toss three touchdowns on the day, though there were two interceptions mixed in as well.

That being said, there are reasons for real optimism with Tennessee moving forward. Derrick Henry is back to his old ways of just wrecking defenses as he had another 100-yard rushing day but the Titans defense is also showing up, especially on the back end with the likes of Kristian Fulton really playing well.

With matchups against the Jets and Jaguars looming over the next two weeks, we could very easily be looking at a 4-1 Titans team in the near future.
