NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week

20. Tennessee Titans (17)

After putting together an impressive two-game winning streak with Ryan Tannehill under center, the Tennessee Titans received a major wake-up call during Sunday’s brutal loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Not even a two-touchdown performance by Derrick Henry was good enough to help the Titans in this one since the defense had zero answers when it came to keeping Christian McCaffrey in check after allowing the Panthers star to find the end zone three times.

Even though there’s still plenty of time for Tennessee to make a strong push for a playoff spot in the AFC, this team just doesn’t seem built enough to make a run when looking at all of the missed opportunities over the last few months.

Most importantly, do the Titans really feel confident enough in sticking with Tannehill over Marcus Mariota moving forward?

Tannehill certainly looked great at times in recent weeks leading up to Sunday, but his performance against Carolina was far from impressive when Tennessee really needed him to step up on offense.

With an upcoming matchup agains the Kansas City Chiefs, if the Titans thought Sunday’s loss to the Panthers and their offense was rough, just imagine what Week 10 could have in store for Tennessee’s defense.
