After a huge Week 9 win over the Los Angeles Rams, their fifth in a row, the Tennessee Titans find themselves ranked as one of the elite teams in the NFL in the power rankings of most experts.
USA TODAY’s Nate Davis has the Titans moving up nine spots to No. 4 on his list. Davis had Tennessee moving backwards last week despite a win because of the injury to running back Derrick Henry.
4. Titans (13): Minus RB Derrick Henry, they go into LA and KO the Rams (last week’s No. 1 team in this space), solidifying themselves atop AFC standings. Oh, and any idea who owns easiest remaining schedule (.343 opponents winning percentage) in the league? You guessed it. These guys might just be OK.
As Davis points out, the Titans have the easiest remaining schedule, and with a commanding lead in the AFC South, this team is in position to weather the storm of losing Henry until his possible return.
Now, a look at where other experts have the Titans ranked.
