30. Cincinnati Bengals (+0)

The Bengals play on Monday Night Football, so I will wait to move them in the power rankings until I have seen them play their Week 15matchup.

29. Detroit Lions (+0)

It really felt like the Detroit Lions were going to make it a competitive game against the Tennessee Titans. Unfortunately, turnovers doomed the Lions and made Matthew Stafford’s valiant effort to play through the pain, worthless.

The score looks closer than it was (which is saying something), but when you watch the game you are going to notice that the Titans started substituting their skill players out in the 4th quarter and the defense is good whether the starters are in there or not. So if you think that this might have been competitive for a while before getting out of hand, think again.

On the bright side, Marvin Jones absolutely worked the Titans defense and it looked like they were the JV squad playing the varsity squad with no practice and no playbook.
