23. Tennessee Titans (21)

The Tennessee Titans entered Week 1 as one of those teams to keep an eye on in the AFC after an impressive preseason, but two key mistakes on offense prevented the team from pulling off what would have been a key victory on opening weekend.

Thanks to an interception and fumble returned for touchdowns by the Minnesota Vikings, the Titans collapsed in the second half before going on to lose 25-16. For most of the game, Tennessee seemed to keep Adrian Peterson (31 rushing yards) and Minnesota’s in offense in check, but those two defensive touchdowns ended up being the difference maker in this one.

The good news for the Titans is DeMarco Murray (two receiving touchdowns) seems to be enjoying his new home after the running back’s disastrous year with the Philadelphia Eagles last season. With an improved ground game along with Marcus Mariota feeling more comfortable running the offense, expect Tennessee to bounce back after this loss.
