Reason no. 2 the Tennessee Titans will disappoint: The AFC is too crowded

Over the last handful of years, the Tennessee Titans have benefited greatly from a crowded but still wide-open AFC.

With the level of quarterback play around the AFC, it’s kind of shocking that the Titans have been able to rise above and finish with literally the best record in the conference, but their window has likely closed.

The AFC is absolutely loaded heading into 2022.

The AFC West alone looks like it has four playoff teams.

The AFC North could have three more.

The AFC East has at least three playoff-caliber teams, and that’s not even projecting the Jets to take a leap forward.

The AFC South is undoubtedly the worst division within the conference, but even if you just single out the Titans and Colts from this division, the AFC as a whole has no fewer than 12 legitimate playoff teams that have mostly all gotten better this offseason.

When we look back at the success of this Titans team from 2019-present, I think we’ll be able to safely say that this team missed its best window of opportunity.

There’s just no room for the Titans at the AFC Super Bowl Contenders table anymore.
