Despite the Tom Brady hype, the Titans decided to stay the course by bringing back Ryan Tannehill after a breakout campaign.

Saturday’s AFC divisional victory was the biggest statement yet by a Titans team that has solidified its status as a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Sunday’s benching in Denver was a strong hint that the Titans could be ready to move on from Marcus Mariota, their QB of the future for years.

The Titans owe it to their defense, if no one else, to see what Ryan Tannehill can do in a more extended audition after Marcus Mariota’s benching.

As the Tennessee Titans’ offense goes from bad to worse in a humbling loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, might the entire season be going with it?
