A few quick observations:

• Schedule includes two prime time matchups. This includes a Week 11 Monday Night Football home game against the Steelers (Nov. 17) and a Week 16 Thursday Day Night Football road game against the Jaguars (Dec. 18). Interesting that Mike Munchak‘s return to LP Field comes in prime time.
• The Titans will face off against Chris Johnson‘s new team, the New York Jets, in Week 15 (Dec. 14).
• Another rough opening four-game stretch that includes three road games against 2013 playoff teams. The Titans started what appeared as a rough four-game stretch with a 3-1 record (at Steelers, at Texans, vs Chargers, vs Jets) before falling apart due to the Jake Locker injury.
• Coach Whisenhunt will start his Tennessee coaching career when the Titans travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Chiefs, Sep. 7
• A Week 17 finale features the Colts at Titans. If this game has playoff implications, then Tennessee has the home-field advantage.
• The bye week comes in Week 9. Right in the middle of the schedule. Can’t ask for anything more convenient than that.
• Week 2 features the LP Field home-opener. On Sep. 14, the Titans will host the Cowboys.

Not a bad schedule. It’s regarded as the NFL’s second-easiest slate of games. That doesn’t mean anything though because it’s based off how good each team was during 2013. The Texans went from a divisional playoff team to the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
