Looking at NFL power rankings can be fun when your team is good. Of course, the Tennessee Titans aren’t good, so looking at the various power rankings isn’t that fun. With that being said, the Titans opened with two of their toughest opponents in 2025. There is a chance the Titans could rattle off a couple of wins in the next month, and then they will move up these lists. That would be fun, right?

Here is a look at where the Titans rank at some of the various sites around the internet:

Cam Ward has actually played pretty well in the first two games, but the offensive line and penalties are spoiling any progress. After 13 flags in the opener, the Titans had 10 more against the Rams. There were two wicked special teams penalties, one of which erased a punt-return touchdown. L’Jarius Sneed had two flags on defense. But the false starts on offense have to go.

Ward  was sacked five times, with a fourth-quarter strip-sack setting up a back-breaking touchdown . Some of this is play-calling and some of it is on

Ward, but the protection breakdowns must be limited. There’s added worry following Sunday’s elbow injury for Kevin Zeitler. A suddenly-tough game this Sunday vs. Indy precedes three straight road games for the 0-2 Titans.

No. 1 pick Cam Ward has already been sacked 11 times, putting him on pace to suffer nearly 100 over 17 games. Someone help this man.

Pollard had 20 carries for 92 yards in Week 2 and, according to Next Gen Stats, forced a career-high 14 missed tackles. Pollard is fourth in the league with 38 carries after two weeks and is the only thing working for the offense right now because rookie quarterback Cam Ward is completing a league-low 50.8 percent of his passes.

The Titans seem pretty happy with Cam Ward’s progress. OK, sure. They have the NFL’s worst offense and he’s thrown for 287 yards and 1 TD in two games. Swell.

Any doubts that Ward  would be an effective NFL quarterback are gradually being put to rest. Although the numbers haven’t been earth-shattering, he has shown the ability to extend plays and make good things happen. His first touchdown pass was an excellent example.

Ward scrambled 36 yards before finding Elic Ayomanor for the score. Coach Brian Callahan has been most impressed by the mental aspect of Ward ‘s game. Callahan said the rookie has handled the operational part of the job, from getting in and out of the huddle to changing protection and routes.

Ward’s volume of passes will increase as the season goes on and Callahan expands his role. — Turron Davenport
