The Titans are here in the divisional round of the playoffs and I cannot be more shocked. After a poor start to a season where the Titans offense was moving slower than a snail, I vouched for the team to start the #TankForTua process.

However, Mike Vrabel and Co. thought otherwise. They put in Ryan Tannehill, a player I ridiculed over the years, to take over for Marcus Mariota to jump-start the offense. I laughed, but Tannehill has proven me wrong.

We sit here today with the Titans beating the Chiefs, Texans and Colts en route to a huge wild card round upset against six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the Titans doing this well this season.

However, I truly think the road ends here. The Titans have weathered the injury storm but losing Jayon Brown is massive. Brown has been outstanding this year, particularly in coverage. His speed is vital against a fast Ravens offense.

I find it hard to see how this defense can limit the Ravens offense. On the other side, the Titans will need to put together their best game of the season to score enough. I am hoping the Titans can stay close in this game so they can hand the ball to Derrick Henry, however if the Ravens go up early, it’s going to be tough to pound the ball with Henry.

Each week, I keep writing the Titans off. I have predicted two consecutive losses, both games which the Titans went on to win. I hope I am back here next week to write the Titans off again. It’s been a fun season.

Final score prediction: Ravens 35, Titans 14
