Where do the Tennessee Titans land in the power rankings after beating the Jaguars.

The Tennessee Titans did it. After stumbling in Week 1 in one of the most unlucky games in franchise history as well as one of the strangest, the team rallied to a 2-1 start.

Not only that, but after the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the New England Patriots they were roundly anointed the #1 team in every power ranking around the league.

In a fair world, the Titans would be ranked ahead of the Jaguars. Over the last three games they have whooped them in Jacksonville twice and at home once. This time, they did it with a banged up offensive line, without Delanie Walker and with Marcus Mariota at less than 100%.

Do I expect them to be on top of them on this list? No. Too many people have propped up the Jaguars for too long while trash talking an injured Titans team. This happens for a lot of reasons:

-People are lazy and don’t want to actually put in the work of watching this games.

-Some talking heads need to save face by calling a 3-0 stretch over the last two years a fluke.

-Tennessee has been out coaching teams and that is hard to explain for some people.

-It is easier to just mark it all down as a weird coincidence and move on.

None of those are acceptable to me. I’m not going to act like I have seen every team this season, but I am also not making a 32 team list ranking them.

Like I always say, the point of this article is to look around the national media and find out who is paying attention and who isn’t. There are some intelligent people out there, and some people that need to be crushed for saying things that don’t make sense.

Let’s check on the power rankings this week.
