2017 NFL Power Rankings: Los Angeles Rams Enter Offseason Near Bottom

14. Tennessee Titans

Even if the Tennessee Titans fell short of winning the AFC South, this team has every reason in the world to feel confident heading into next season, assuming Marcus Mariota can return to full strength after his devastating leg injury. Thanks to a 9-7 finish, the Titans ended up being one of the biggest surprises from 2016 after having the worst record in football the year before.

From the Green Bay Packers to the Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee put together plenty of impressive victories this year to show they have what it takes to compete with some of the best teams in the NFL. If only the Titans didn’t let a few key games slip away, they could have easily won the division over the Houston Texans.

Hopefully, Tennessee uses falling short of the playoffs as motivation to make sure that doesn’t happen again in 2017 since their confidence level should be at a much higher level. What’s even more exciting for the Titans is thanks to the struggles behind the Los Angeles Rams, they also receive the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft thanks to the Jared Goff deal last offseason.

Having two first-round picks for a team like the Titans that fell just shy of the playoffs, now that’s scary to think about.
