Tennessee Titans. 11. team. 35. . W, 15-10 vs. Jaguars. Previous:

2017 was supposed to be a breakout season for the Titans, especially after giving quarterback Marcus Mariota new receiving weapons in Corey Davis and Eric Decker.

But neither wideout proved to be a major difference maker this season, suggesting more improvements will be needed this offseason. And getting cold down the stretch certainly didn’t help matters much.

Still, Tennessee managed to pull off a must-win victory over their AFC West rivals, the Jaguars, and will now have a chance to put those odd struggles behind them.

The Titans are another likely one-and-done team, though, and one should expect a deep run here.
