When you look at the Tennessee Titans now compared to last year, there is a lot more hope moving forward. For the past two seasons, the Titans have been in a state of misery. Now though, there is stability and a lot of momentum going forward.
A new head coach with his new coaching staff, a revamped roster with upgraded talent, and hopefully a young franchise quarterback. Yeah, Tennessee looks a ton better. However, winning the offseason means nothing if it doesn't produce on-the-field results.
Coming off of two consecutive 3-14 seasons, there is no reason why the Titans shouldn't vastly improve that record in 2026. Conor Orr from Sports Illustrated seems to think so as well.
Titans prediction has fans ready for 2026 season to begin
Orr put together a list of 100 bold predictions for the 2026 season, involving nearly every team in the NFL, and one of Orr’s prediction involved Robert Saleh (along with John Harbaugh of the New York Giants) having “the largest win total improvement of the teams with new head coaches”.
"The Giants (plus-three) and Titans (plus-three) will both look much improved in 2026. The Browns will come close to tying that three-win improvement number but ultimately fall short at 7–10." said Orr.
While it’s never easy to win in this league, the Titans have set themselves up to not just double their win total from last season, but could they even be competing for a playoff spot come November/December? Could they get in as a wild card team? Absolutely, but it’s going to take everyone’s best effort in order to do so.
Perhaps the Titans could be surprise contenders for the AFC South. We just saw the Patriots turn around in one year going from one of the worst teams in 2024 to playing in the Super Bowl. If Ward has a Drake Maye-like season, anything is possible for the Titans in 2026.
Tennessee has a favorable schedule, even with no primetime games. That’s okay, because right now, they have to prove that their new direction is going to work. On paper, it surely does look like that. But it’s what happens on the field that will tell the whole story.
