Following an opening loss to the division rival Patriots, the Dolphins have won 3 straight to put them atop the division. The offense has primarily relied on the arm of Tua Tagovailoa who has thrown 6 TDs and only 2 INTs in his 2nd NFL season. Nearly a quarter of his passing yards have gone to rookie WR Jaylen Waddle, who leads the team in receiving yards (and walkoff TDs). The running game has been a major weak spot, as the team has struggled to establish the rush behind a weak offensive ...

Its time for some closing thoughts on these Titans. The team finally ended their playoff drought, finishing 10-6, good for second in the division and the third wildcard spot in the AFC. Their playoff run ended much more quickly than most would have liked, losing to the division rival Colts in a thrilling (and heartbreaking) 27-31 loss. Overall, the team had a successful sesaon, looking like a stabilized team under the leadership of QB Drew Lock (and his lefthanded glove). They were remarka...

Through 7 games, the Titans find themselves in the running in the competitive AFC South despite a 4-3 record. In their latest game, the team clutched out a close win against the division-rival Colts, 38-35. For the 1st time in recent memory, the team's scoring defense is currently ranked better than the scoring offense, with ranks of 12th and 17th respectively. The team will look to improve their redzone offense in the coming weeks, as they are only 17th in scoring despite being in the...

The Titans went into this pivotal offseason with the goal of making the necessary changes to get over the hump they've been in the past few seasons, hovering consistently around a .500 record. Without a doubt, the biggest move made by the team this offseason was the release of long time starting QB Dak Prescott. While he showed flashes of brilliance with the team and was a model citizen, his inconsistency and major cap hit led to the team seeking a change at the position. Enter Drew Lo...

The Titans' rollercoaster season has continued, with the team now back up to .500 after a crucial win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The team has some impressive wins on the season, having beaten likely playoff teams such as the Raiders and Colts. They have also had equally impressive losses, losing to a Jaguars team that currently only has 1 win on the season, as well as being blown out multiple times. The Titans' offense has cooled after a relatively hot start, falling to the botto...

The Titans went on a 3 game winnning streak after their 0-2 start before losinng their sixth game of the season to the Rams. During their winning streak, they opened their brand new stadium against the division rival Jaguars, treating the fans to a 24-17 win. The team's offense has maintained their strong play from last season, in spite of injuries to HB Derrick Henry, LG Zach Devlin, and WR Ramon McFadden. The team's defense has improved somewhat from their atrocious play last sea...

The season and stadium may be different, however these Titans look eerily similar to last year. The team's offense has put up over 80 points between their first two games of the season, however the defense managed to give up even more. Both of the team's losses came in overtime, taking years off of fans' lives in the process. HB Derrick Henry looks to be the same dominant runner as usual despite a rough foot injury last season, putting up over 200 yards rushing between the team...

Despite not having a 1st round pick, the Titans managed to add multiple young contributors in the draft. With their 1st second round pick, the team added athletic 6'3 CB Matthew Dent out of Oregon State, who was already received signicant playing time in nickel situations through the team's first 2 games of the season. With their next pick, the team added rangy MLB Kenny Ewing from Lehigh. Many analysts had projected Ewing to go in the 1st round, however he surprisingly fell into t...

The Titans were active early on in free agency, adding OL David Andrews to replace the retired J.C Tretter. Additionally, they added the top two free agent CBs available, signing Kenny Moore and Jonathan Jones to 1-year deals to bolster a secondary that consistently got burnt last year. Coach Mike Vrabel stated that you could expect to see the team play a very matchup heavy defense in the secondary, with CB D.J Brown likely to have a significant role as well. Other notable signings include...

While the Titans got off a solid 6-3 start, they slowed down as the regular season went on, finishing with a disappointing 8-8 record, missing the playoffs yet again. While the team minimized the impact of losing Derrick Henry for most of the season due to a foot fracture, it is clear it had a major effect on the team. Rookie HB Marcus Slay, who we profiled previously, tried his best to fill in Henry's gigantic shoes, finishing his rookie season with over 1000 yards from scrimmage and ...
