Ravens and Titans are tough to figure out in NFL Power Rankings
26. . . Previous: 7th. Baltimore Ravens. 8. team
Ugly wins are still wins.
The Baltimore Ravens haven’t been the prettiest team in the NFL all season, but they are certainly going to be hanging around until January, aren’t they?
Even with Lamar Jackson missing this road game against the Chicago Bears, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley was able to lead the Ravens to victory and the defense stepped up in a big way down the stretch.
Baltimore is now 7-3 this season and everyone knows that when Lamar Jackson is healthy, this team is as lethal offensively as any in the NFL offensively.
Although they have appeared out of sorts at times in recent weeks, the Ravens are among the NFL’s elite.
Previous: 2nd. Tennessee Titans. 7. team. 35. .
Injuries have caught up to the Tennessee Titans.
This team is extremely weird.
They have some of the best signature wins of any team in the NFL this season, and they also have some of the worst and most confusing losses, most recently Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans.
This ranking is a bit less reflective of the strong work the Titans have done thus far and more reflective of how I anticipate a steady fall over the course of this season for the Titans.
Losing Derrick Henry is huge, and obviously, Ryan Tannehill needs him as a backbone to have sustained success.
His four picks against the Texans were ugly.
