Music City Miracles
The Tennessee Titans entered Week 14 with the number one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft secured. Now maybe that isn’t as important with Cam Ward in the fold and not needing to go QB, but they still lost draft position on Sunday by beating a lowly Cleveland Browns team.
The New York Giants, on a bye in Week 14, moved past the Titans into the top spot in the draft. That could still theoretically change based on strength of schedule, but the Giants are comfortably ahead at this time.
The Giants have a SOS of .538 while the Titans are at .573, per Tankathon.
The New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to move to three wins on the season instead of a tie at 2-11. The Las Vegas Raiders can still join New York and Tennessee at 2-11 with a late afternoon loss.
The Giants don’t play any playoff teams down the stretch with games against the Washington Commanders, Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, and the Dallas Cowboys.
The Titans are up against much more stiff competition with games against three playoff teams in the San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Jacksonville Jaguars plus a game against the New Orleans Saints.
After today’s game against the Denver Broncos, the Raiders play the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, and Kansas City Chiefs plus a game against the new York Giants. That Giants game could ultimately decide the number one overall pick.
