Music City Miracles
Once again, we are coming off a Tennessee Titans’ loss to look at NFL power rankings. The Titans have actually moved up in a couple these because the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are so bad. With that being said, if the Titans played either of those teams, do you think they would be favored? I don’t. Can you imagine how much fun those games would be to watch?
Here is a look at where the Titans rank in various power rankings around the internet:
ESPN: 31
Dike has become a playmaker for the Titans both on special teams and more recently on offense. Dike wasn’t the primary return man for Tennessee in the preseason, but he now leads the NFL with 816 kickoff return yards, though that has come with a league-high 31 kickoff returns. Entering Week 7, he had three receptions for 26 yards, but he had four for 71 against New England — including his first touchdown on a 38-yard connection with fellow rookie Cam Ward. Dike’s role could increase as a budding relationship with Ward’s begins to influence more opportunities from quarterbacks coach/offensive playcaller Bo Hardegree. — Turron Davenport

Are they any better than they were a year ago? Nope. Cam Ward isn’t getting it done, but the roster around him isn’t very good.
DraftKings: 31
The Athletic: 30
They have the NFL’s worst point differential (minus-96) by a wide margin. Cam Ward had some nice moments in the team’s first game after Brian Callahan’s firing, but he inexplicably fumbled the ball while trying to pass, which went for a touchdown the other way.
Fox Sports: 30
Signs of life from Cam Ward? The No. 1 overall pick was 25-for-34 for 255 yards and one touchdown and one interception against the Patriots. The Titans even led 13-10 late in the first half before it all fell apart.
PFT: 30
They found a way to make Drake Maye look better than Tom Brady.
