21. Tennessee Titans (3-4)

Recap: The Tennessee Titans rose from the dead with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers one week after hitting rock bottom in a shutout loss to the Denver Broncos. With Ryan Tannehill at the helm, the Titans offense looked much better than it has all season and were able to take a two-score lead in the fourth quarter that looked insurmountable. The Chargers were able to surge late, but thanks to an improbable goal line stance at the end of regulation, the Titans emerged victorious.

Outlook: The Titans appear to have made the right move in the switch to Tannehill and this offense now has a promising future the rest of the season. We’ll see if Tannehill’s impressive debut as the team’s starter was just a fluke or if it was for real when the Titans host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 8 showdown at Nissan Stadium.
