The Tennessee Titans finally ended their losing streak with a win over the lowly Carolina Panthers, but such an ugly victory over the worst team in the NFL isn’t changing any hearts and minds about how bad Tennessee is this season.
In the power rankings of USA TODAY’s Nate Davis, he actually has the Titans moving up four spots to No. 19, although that’s more a result of a bunch of teams in front of Tennessee losing. Here’s what he said:
19. Titans (23): They’re unbeatable at home. Literally. Tennessee is now 4-0 this season at Nissan Stadium, though did lose a designated home game in London – meaning the Titans are 0-7 outside of Nashville in 2023.
The Titans are one of four teams to not lose inside their home stadium this season, along with the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.
But Tennessee has managed to be the only one of the four to have a losing record overall. If the Titans had just shown a pulse on the road this season, they’d likely be headed for the playoffs.
