Winner No. 1: Ryan Tannehill

You could make the argument that this was Ryan Tannehill‘s best performance of his Titans tenure.

He went 14-of-18 for 259 yards and two touchdowns through the air, and also added 40 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, and improved to 4-1 as a starter with the Titans.

You could easily make the argument that had Tannehill been the starter from the beginning of the season, the Titans’ playoff situation would be much less dire than it is now, but this is absolutely a “better late than never” situation.

The offense continues to thrive with Tannehill under center, with the passing game looking much more fluent than it did while Marcus Mariota was the center.

With more impressive performances over the next five weeks, Tannehill could solidify himself as the Titans’ full-time starter moving beyond this season. For now, what he has done in the five games since becoming the starter has been phenomenal.
