15. Tennessee Titans (1-1)

After a huge win in Week 1 against a Cleveland Browns team coming in with a ton of hype, the Tennessee Titans had a chance to show they are a different team this season. Sadly for Titans fans, that simply didn’t happen.

The Titans weren’t able to get anything going through the air, as the Colts got consistent pressure on Marcus Mariota all game long. Derrick Henry was solid once again, but it simply wasn’t enough for Tennessee to put enough points on the board to win.

Tennessee’s defense was great for most of the game, but a 55-yard scamper by Colts back Jordan Wilkins was the back-breaking play late in the fourth quarter that was the difference in the game. Wilkins’ run set the Colts up for what would be the game-winning touchdown and a brutal defeat for a Titans team that looked so good last Sunday.

The Titans can’t let this loss hang around for too long, though. Head coach Mike Vrabel’s squad will be right back at it on Thursday Night Football with yet another divisional matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up.
