Tennessee Titans. 17. team. 35. Tennessee couldn’t have suffered a worse loss than what the Titans had to endure in their Week 16 loss to the Jaguars. Aside from losing to an inferior team, second-year quarterback Marcus Mariota (leg) is now out for the year, and his status for the start of next season is in doubt. 2016 had been a productive year for Tennessee, and it still could be considered such. But losses like that to Mariota cast a serious shadow over where the team will be in Week 1 of next season. And that’s why they’ll fall in Week 17 NFL power rankings.. 8-7.
