After Derrick Henry went down, who would have thought that Mike Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans would be in a position to be the top overall seed in the AFC pending the final game of the season? To make a long story short, not many, and that’s why Vrabel deserves some love.

The former 3x Super Bowl Champion with the Patriots has Tennesee chugging along with Henry expected to return for the playoffs potentially. All Tennessee has to do is to win against Houston to earn the only first-round bye in the AFC to rest up and have Henry healthy as he can be. For now, he can only coach what he has, and he has a lot.

Led by Taylor Lewan and Nate Davis, Tennessee’s offensive line has kept them in games while Kevin Byard’s leadership on the defense has them playing more aggressively by the week.

Vrabel has his best chance to win a Super Bowl as a head coach if he gets the top seed in the conference. If he indeed accomplishes such an honor, the Hall of Fame will have to take notice.
