Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans were a no-name team a few years ago. In 2019, they made a huge run in the playoffs behind Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry. They made it all the way to the AFC Championship game knocking off the Ravens before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last year, they finished with an 11-5 record winning the AFC South tie-breaker over the 11-5 Indianapolis Colts. They lost their Wild Card game this year to the Baltimore Ravens who completed their revenge game from 2019.

The Titans don’t really have any massive free agents. The one-year contract they gave to Clowney is up as well as Corey Davis’ contract. However, they are keeping the major portion of their offense and defense together with the addition of draft picks and any signings.

However, they will continue next year with the same method that got them to the playoffs the last two years — running Derrick Henry wild. The rushing leader is the biggest part of their offense. If the Saints can control him next year, they can win the game.
