There’s always next year.
That statement rings a special kind of true for the Tennessee Titans, who came up just one game short of a Super Bowl LIV appearance after a 35-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game this year.
The Titans will look to make another Super Bowl run in 2020, and seem to be just a few small tweaks away from becoming an AFC powerhouse.
Here’s a quick glance at who the Titans have on schedule and what the upcoming season could entail.

Early Outlook
Granted that the Titans return both quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry, the team has the essential pieces in place for a high-power offense that few teams effectively answered to down the stretch.
The Titans have been consistently inconsistent in past years, though, so they’ll need to prove that the success of the 2019 season wasn’t just a fluke.
This year’s team looked a lot different than the ones from past years that have finished with the same 9-7 overall record, proving they could be resilient after a 2-4 start and showing the ability to compete in shootout contests.
Can they keep it up in 2020?
That’s the burning question Tennessee will have to answer this Fall.
