16. Oakland Raiders (6-5)

Recap: Someone forgot to tell the Oakland Raiders to show up in Week 12 against the New York Jets. With a 3-3 tie after the first quarter, the Raiders completely collapsed and surrendered 31 unanswered points to a dysfunctional Jets team that had a loss against the Miami Dolphins just three weeks ago.

Outlook: The Raiders had a golden opportunity to even their record with the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of a Week 13 showdown for the top spot in the AFC West, but they blew it. A loss next week to Patrick Mahomes and Co. would effectively seal their chances of winning the division in 2019.

15. Tennessee Titans (6-5)

Recap: With just a 7-3 lead after the first half, the Tennessee Titans looked like they were going to be involved in another close game, this time with the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Titans erupted in the second half and scored 28 points in the first eight minutes of the third quarter to cruise to victory.

Outlook: With the win, the Titans improve to 6-5 and continue to control their own destiny in the AFC South. A Week 13 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts will determine second place, and if the Titans can win with a combination of a Houston Texans loss, Tennessee will be tied atop the division.
