Music City Miracles
With the Tennessee Titans winning against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, they moved into a three-way tie for the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In case you aren’t aware, strength of schedule is the tiebreaker when it comes to where teams will pick in the draft. The team with the easiest schedule moves to the top of the line. That means that if the season ended today, the Titans, who have faced the toughest schedule in the league, would have the third pick in the NFL draft behind the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders.
Even if the Titans end up tied with just the Raiders at the end of the season, the Raiders, who beat the Titans earlier in the season, would get the first pick. Head-to-head doesn’t come into the tiebreaking scenarios unless strength of schedule and a few other things are tied. All of that to say, the Titans have to have the fewest number of wins in the league to get the first overall pick. There is no other scenario where they would win a tiebreaker for the first pick.
Apparently, some people took issue with Cam Ward’s postgame comments. I guess they wanted him to do some somersaults after the team improved to 2-11 on the season. Ward is brutally honest with the media and has been that way since he first came to Nashville. I appreciate it.
There is also the issue from Easton’s article where Will Boling revealed something that happened on the team plane. That stuff is supposed to stay in-house.
Blake Beddingfield posted his weekly review over at PaulKuharsky.com. It’s a great read every week.
Tony Pollard has been a solid contributor for this team over the last two years. It was fun to see him have a big game on Sunday:
