Like the Ravens, the Tennessee Titans are another one of those teams few thought would be this high in NFL power rankings a quarter of the way through the season.

Especially after knocking off the defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles in overtime. That’s impressive.

What was most impressive was how the Titans’ front seven was able to get pressure on Philly quarterback Carson Wentz, who was sacked four times in the contest and never looked totally comfortable despite tossing for nearly 350 yards.

Oh, and EDGE Harold Landry is starting to look good. Like, very good. How many teams passed up on him in the NFL Draft again?

On offense, wide receiver Corey Davis finally started to flash the speed and playmaking skills that made him such an intriguing prospect last year. He finished with a whopping 161 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions — a true difference maker.
