NFL power rankings week 6 and the Tennessee Titans

NFL power rankings week 6 and the Tennessee Titans

Heading into the fourth quarter on Sunday, it looked like the Tennessee Titans were heading for a clean sweep of 32nd in NFL power rankings this week. The only other team that was really in the conversation last week, the New Orleans Saints, had already won. But the Titans, or really the Arizona Cardinals with all of their mistakes, said “Not so fast, my friend” as they pulled off the miracle comeback. It might sound crazy to say, but if the Titans can pull off another win against the Las Vegas Raiders this week, they might pull into the mid-20s...

Titans WR Calvin Ridley needs to keep momentum going after Week 5 breakout

Titans WR Calvin Ridley needs to keep momentum going after Week 5 breakout

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley finally broke his slump in Sunday’s thrilling 22-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 131 yards. It marked season-highs in every category.

The Titans had been trying to get Ridley going after an early-season slump. Brian Callahan compared it to a baseball hitter. Wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert tried creative tactics at practice to address Ridley’s confidence and then-ongoing drop issues.

It worked on Sunday. Cam Ward and Ridley connected on multiple big plays, including what was essentially the game-winner to set kicker Joey Slye up. The...

Titans vs. Raiders opening odds: Tennessee opens as 5.5-point underdog

Titans vs. Raiders opening odds: Tennessee opens as 5.5-point underdog

The Tennessee Titans are an underdog for the sixth straight week to open the 2025 season. This time, against they are a 5.5-point underdog at FanDuel Sportsbook against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road. The Titans will look to win back-to-back games for the first time since November of 2022. That’s insane.

The biggest key for this one will be Cam Ward building off the momentum from the fourth quarter comeback against the Arizona Cardinals. We knew that for this team to be good, it was going to take Ward carrying them at times. He did just that on...

Jeffery Simmons is playing at a defensive player of the year level

Jeffery Simmons is playing at a defensive player of the year level

There has been a lot of talk about whether or not the Tennessee Titans should trade Jeffery Simmons. On one hand, trading him makes a lot of sense given his age and how far away the Titans seem to be from competing. If the Titans aren’t going to be a legitimate contender until 2027, it might make sense to get some draft capital for him now.

With all of that being said, the price for a team to acquire Simmons should be sky high. Brian Callahan said after the game that Simmons is playing at a Defensive Player of the...

Brian Callahan called a meeting with Titans captains last week

Brian Callahan called a meeting with Titans captains last week

Brian Callahan knows that he is coaching for his job every week at this point. While it is true that the Tennessee Titans have been in every game into the fourth quarter this year, there have just been too many moments of incompetence for him to be the coach of the Titans in 2026. According to Albert Breer in today’s Monday Morning Quarterback, Callahan called a meeting with the Titans’ captains last Wednesday. From the above-linked article:

On Wednesday, with talk on his job status ramping up, Callahan called in captains Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Jeffery Simmons, Amani Hooker,...

Cam Ward proved today why he was worthy of the number one pick

Cam Ward proved today why he was worthy of the number one pick

Cam Ward was pretty good in the first two games of the season with nothing to show for it. He was not as good in week three against the Indianapolis Colts, and he was really bad in week four against the Houston Texans. This week, against the Arizona Cardinals, he wasn’t great for the first three quarters, going 8 of 20 for just 72 yards, but then the last three drives happened.

On those three drives, he was 13 of 19 for 193 yards. He did throw a pick on a tipped ball, but of course, that ended up being...

Titans complete miracle comeback to beat the Cardinals 22-21

Titans complete miracle comeback to beat the Cardinals 22-21

Let me start by saying that if you didn’t watch this game and are planning on going back to watch it, just skip straight to the fourth quarter. The first three quarters looked like the first four games. The Tennessee Titans kept finding ways to do dumb stuff to shoot themselves in the foot. I had already sat down to say I was running out of adjectives to describe how bad this team is.

Then, something almost too crazy to describe happened. It started when Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado broke off what looked like a 71-yard touchdown run....

Titans vs. Cardinals open game thread

Titans vs. Cardinals open game thread

The Tennessee Titans are a pretty big underdog for the fifth straight week. That makes sense, considering they are the worst team in the NFL. Maybe I’m crazy, but I think they keep this game close. The biggest thing I’m watching in this one is Cam Ward. He looked more uncomfortable last week against the Houston Texans than he had in any game so far. Can he settle a little bit in this one and get his first multi-touchdown passing day of his NFL career? I think he does.

Arizona is likely down to their third running back in this...

Titans vs. Cardinals Sunday morning thoughts

Titans vs. Cardinals Sunday morning thoughts

Brian Callahan and the Tennessee Titans desperately need a win. File that under one of the most obvious things you have ever read. Callahan said this week that he doesn’t think there is a sense of doom in the building. That might be true right now, but you better believe that will start to slip in more and more with each passing loss. He’s not the guy going forward, but for the good of the future of the franchise, you don’t want that locker room to become a disaster.

It’s hard for me to care too much about draft position...

Calvin Ridley injury update: Titans WR trending towards playing

Calvin Ridley injury update: Titans WR trending towards playing

Calvin Ridley missed a lot of the second half in the Tennessee Titans’ loss last week to the Houston Texans. He also missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. After logging a limited practice on Friday, the team listed him as questionable for today’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. Last night, Ian Rapoport said that Ridley has a “good chance of playing.”

Ridley hasn’t been good this year, but he is still the best receiver the Titans have. They need him out there to at least give the threat of the ability to stretch the field. Here’s the other...

Titans vs. Cardinals final injury report

Titans vs. Cardinals final injury report

JC Latham has now missed four straight months of practice for the Tennessee Titans. It would be really cool if the NFL had a way where you could give that guy a status where he didn’t count against your 53 man roster, but you could still bring him back once he was healthy. Wait, they do? Someone should tell the Titans. OK, I’m done.

In addition to Latham being OUT, wide receiver Bryce Oliver, safety Mike Brown, and offensive lineman Blake Hance will all miss tomorrow’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Calvin Ridley, who missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday,...

Calvin Ridley and JC Latham miss second straight day of Titans practice

Both Calvin Ridley and JC Latham were listed as “did not practice” for the second straight day. Jim Wyatt did say that Ridley was seen doing some work on a side field. That does give some hope that he will be able to go on Sunday when the Tennessee Titans face the Arizona Cardinals. He probably needs to at least get a limited practice in tomorrow to have a chance.

JC Latham also missed his second straight day of practice. I will save you the dialogue on them not putting Latham on injured reserve after the week one loss to...
