The only thing saving the Tennessee Titans from being at the bottom of every single NFL power rankings is the New Orleans Saints. The Titans play the Saints in week 17. What are the odds that both of those teams enter that game winless? I\u2019d say they are pretty good. That game will likely decide who gets the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Woo!<\/p>\n
The only real thing the Titans currently have going for them over the Saints is Cam Ward. You can say what you want about watching this team, but having to watch Spencer Rattler play quarterback every week has to be a pretty miserable experience.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at where the Titans rank in various power rankings around the internet:<\/p>\n
ESPN<\/a>: 31<\/p>\n The Titans have allowed 147.7 rushing yards per game (third most in the league), primarily because of missed tackles. Opposing offenses have had explosive touchdown runs in each of Tennessee\u2019s three losses. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor\u2019s 45-yard touchdown run on Sunday is a good example, as he broke four tackles on the play. Rams wide receiver Puka Nucua broke three tackles on a 45-yard TD rush in\u00a0Week 2<\/a>. And Broncos running back\u00a0J.K Dobbins broke two tackles on a 19-yard rush to the end zone that sealed Denver\u2019s\u00a0Week 1 win<\/a>.\u00a0\u2014 Turron Davenport<\/p>\n USA Today<\/a>: 31<\/p>\n Will this be two years in a row that a head coach is fired midseason despite his team just spending the No. 1 draft pick on a QB? The Titans are 3-17 under Brian Callahan, and the\u00a0Nashville natives were quite restless<\/a>\u00a0during Sunday\u2019s 21-point loss to Indy.<\/p>\n NFL.com<\/a>: 29<\/p>\n With\u00a0a pick-six<\/a>\u00a0less than a minute into the game, two missed field-goal tries and some painful penalties, the Titans put themselves in a deep hole they couldn\u2019t get out of\u00a0against the Colts<\/a>. That\u2019s now two home losses where they\u2019ve been outclassed by better-caliber teams, giving them a clear measuring stick to aim for \u2014 one they can\u2019t quite yet reach. The most concerning element was the lack of energy early, and Colts WR Michael Pittman said\u00a0he could sense it in pre-game warmups<\/a>. Brian Callahan has a lot of work to do to keep this team competitive. They can build around Cam Ward and a few of their encouraging offensive pieces, but they\u2019ve been borderline anemic offensively for stretches and not much better defensively. With three straight (and four of the next five) on the road, the Titans have to turn the tide quickly or risk another long, losing season.<\/p>\n Yahoo Sports<\/a>: 30<\/p>\n
