Tennessee Titans NFL power rankings: Week 5
By Will Lomas
"“Rest-of-season SOS ranking: 18th. The Titans’ toughest remaining game, according to FPI, will be in Week 12 at the Texans, where Tennessee has a 34 percent chance to win. That makes sense, given the Titans have lost their past six road games at the Texans by an average of 19.7 PPG, including a 57-14 blowout last season. — Koontz”"
Just a reminder, ESPN is doing this thing where every week instead of talking about the team they talk about one theme for the entire league.
At first I found it a little annoying, but now I kind of like it just because they have more data points to pull from.
The Titans were down three spots, which seems kind when they had a chance to really knock Tennessee. Middle of the pack seems a little low in general, but I think being in the top half of the rankings this week feels right and you could probably have them anywhere from 8-14 and I would agree.
Going to the schedule note they brought up, the Titans have a below average schedule from here on out. Sure there are bumps in the road like the Chargers in London and this weekend against the Ravens, but all in all they had their toughest stretch in the opening month when they went 3-1.
Now the question is can the team actually look like a playoff team and beat the bad and mediocre teams, or are they going to keep putting out poor performances.
