      <title>The Safety Dance</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans fell to 2-12 on the season with a 37-24 loss at San Francisco on Sunday. In that game, three different safeties went down with injuries, and early this week, all three were placed on injured reserve. That means that a secondary that was already something of a patchwork unit will have to plug in some more pieces this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The good news on defense remains the play of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who is making a strong case for his first All-Pro selection. Kansas City won't have quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a perennial All-Pro who is out with an injury of his own, but his replacement has a history of playing well against the Titans. Meanwhile, Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward continues to navigate his rookie season, delivering a mix of memorable moments and frustrating missteps.</description>

      <title>Critiquing a Win</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans ended their losing streak with a victory at Cleveland. The offense, defense and special teams all delivered big plays, and then everyone held on at the finish. The offensive line was surprisingly good and was effective in both the run and pass game. Running back Tony Pollard showed big-play ability that was absent through the first 12 games and delivered on the most notable performances of his career. Cam Ward was not at his best on the field and was not particularly happy about it afterward, and the latter is not necessarily a bad thing. Up next is a trip to San Francisco and a matchup with the 49ers, a team that has won much more than it has lost and should be ready mentally and physically.</description>

      <title>Rookie Quarterback Showdown</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans were officially eliminated from playoff contention with Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The defeat capped a rare run of four straight home games — the Titans didn't win any of them — but was far less competitive than the other three. It also guaranteed the Titans will finish last in the AFC South for the third straight year and put them in position to achieve some new levels of futility over the remaining five games. Next up is a trip to Cleveland for a game against the Browns that could pit Titans quarterback Cam Ward, who went exactly where he expected to go in the 2025 NFL Draft, against Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who experienced an unexpected fall during the draft. Ward will need help from his offensive line, which must find a way to block Cleveland's Myles Garrett, who has a chance to set the NFL's single-season sack record. </description>

      <title>Receivers Wanted</title>
      <description>After a 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, the Tennessee Titans are 1-9, and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that in the nearly three decades since the franchise relocated from Houston, this is as bad as things have been. Things went from bad to worse for the Titans wide receivers against the Texans. Injuries decimated that particular position group and set the stage for decisions to be made this week, including one that could give a fan favorite the opportunity that so many have wanted him to get. On top of that, the pain of defeat finally got to one of the team's most prominent players, who said he is tired of worrying about his teammates' feelings and did not hesitate to point out mistakes that some of them made against Houston. With all of that going on, the Titans now have to figure out a way to try to beat the Seattle Seahawks, a team that has been one of the NFL's best this season.</description>

      <title>Back to Work</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans had their open date last week, but somehow things managed to get worse. Two other teams won, which left the Titans as the only NFL team with one win. They are not, however, the only team playing a rookie quarterback. While Cam Ward was the clear choice among nearly everyone as the top quarterback available in the 2025 draft, the numbers show that his play has not set him apart in the same way. Another veteran player told franchise officials he wanted out and was released while many rookies, other than Ward, continue to see their playing time increase. It is back to playing games this week, and the next opponent gives the Titans an opportunity to atone for one of their worst performances of the season. </description>

      <title>Trade Deadline Reaction</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans compiled a combination of things Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers that typically add up to a victory, yet they lost 27-20. They are now 1-8 as they enter the open week on their schedule, which is a time for players and coaches to reflect on what they have done and to think about what is to come. They also said goodbye to outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones, who was traded to the Baltimore Ravens shortly before the NFL trade deadline. The Titans received a 2026 draft pick in the deal. Speaking of the draft, Tennessee is in position to get the No. 1 overall pick for the second consecutive year. Not surprisingly, there has been much more not to like than there was to like during the first half of the season.</description>

      <title>The Goodbyes Continue</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans are now 1-7 following a 38-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. A day later, they traded cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams in the first of what is likely to be several moves in the final week before the NFL's trade deadline. Quarterback Cam Ward's completion percentage continues to rise — which is good — but at least once in each of the last six games, he has thrown at least one pass to the other team — which is not good. Interim coach Mike McCoy continues to make decisions that don't make sense given the current state of affairs and are not likely to inspire a team that has little to play for over the rest of the year. Sunday's game is the first of a November homestand, and a homecoming for a number of Los Angeles Chargers players who used to be with the Titans.</description>

      <title> A Change Makes Little Difference</title>
      <description>A coaching change made little difference Sunday as the Tennessee Titans lost 31-13 to the New England Patriots. There were some positive signs early, but ultimately the Titans could not maintain their first start. Any positive feelings that were building within the fan base vanished in the closing seconds of the first half when interim coach Mike McCoy made some questionable coaching decisions, reminiscent of the man he replaced, Brian Callahan. Quarterback Cam Ward had his best statistical game to date but repeated a devastating mistake from the previous week. A veteran wide receiver decided he did not want to be here anymore and was released. Up next is a trip to Indianapolis to face the team with the NFL's best record.</description>

Any positive feelings that were building within the fan base vanished in the closing seconds of the first half when interim coach Mike McCoy made some questionable coaching decisions, reminiscent of the man he replaced, Brian Callahan.

      <title>A New Beginning</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans fired coach Brian Callahan on Monday, just six games into his second season. Callahan coached just 23 games, the same number as the last coach to be fired in-season, Ken Whisenhunt, and led the team to just four victories, one more than Whisenhunt. The timing of the move is notable in that it spares everyone the inevitable comparisons with former Titans coach Mike Vrabel, now the head coach of Tennessee's next opponent, the New England Patriots. Mike McCoy, who joined the team this year as a senior offensive assistant, has been named interim head coach for the rest of the season. McCoy has experience as an NFL head coach, offensive coordinator and more, but that résumé does not exactly inspire a lot of confidence for what is to come.</description>

      <title>A Streak-Snapping Win</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans got their first win of the season Sunday when they took advantage of an Arizona Cardinals' blunder and scored the final 16 points of the contest. As memorable as it was, the comeback was hardly a thing of beauty, and there is little reason that it represents a significant turning point in this team's fortunes. Still, it was an important and meaningful moment for rookie quarterback Cam Ward and a notable second-half performance by a defense anchored by Jeffery Simmons, who is undeniably one of the best linemen in the league right now.</description>

      <title>It’s Just Getting Worse</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans fell to 0-4 with a 26-0 loss at Houston on Sunday. It was one of the most lopsided shutout losses of the Titans era (1999-present) and the first time since Week 6 of the 2019 season they failed to score. Then, the coaches made a big change that carried the Titans through the next two and a half years. This shutout made their rookie quarterback mad and left many thinking coach Brian Callahan would be fired the next day. Callahan still has his job, but his team has lost 10 straight games dating back to last season. On top of that, each of this season's four defeats has been by a wider margin than the previous one.</description>

      <title>Shaking Things Up</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans fell to 0-3 on the season with an all-too-familiar performance Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Then on Tuesday, they decided to make a few changes. Coach Brian Callahan said he is going to give up play-calling duties so he can focus on larger in-game issues, and second-year cornerback Jarvis Brownlee was traded to the New York Jets. Are those moves --- and maybe a few more in the coming weeks --- going to be enough to make a substantive difference, or is all of this just prelude to a coaching change? </description>

      <title> A Home Opener Spoiled</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans are 0-2 for the third time in four years. Franchise history suggests that is not a good thing. The offensive line continues to struggle, committing too many penalties and allowing too many sacks. One notable difference from Week 1 to Week 2 was the fact that the offense scored a touchdown – and it was not just any touchdown. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward's first career touchdown pass was inexplicable in some ways and figures to be part of his highlight reel for years to come. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed saw a lot more playing time than he did in the opener but also had more struggles. This week, the Indianapolis Colts – one of the season's most surprising and offensively efficient teams – come to Nissan Stadium. </description>

      <title>Disaster in Denver</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans did a lot of things that often lead to victory Sunday in Denver. Yet they still lost. Four takeaways, a big play on special teams, stout defense and more were not enough to overcome a whole lot of penalties, three dropped passes and at least one questionable move by coach Brian Callahan. The result was a 20-12 loss that offered some reason for optimism --- of you're a glass-half-full type --- but generally set a disappointing tone for what is to come for the rest of the 2025 NFL season. It also put Callahan squarely on the hot seat just one game into the schedule. </description>

      <title>The Opener Awaits</title>
      <description>The start of the 2025 NFL season is here, and for the Tennessee Titans, it is time to kick off the Cam Ward era. The rookie quarterback and the rest of the team face a tall challenge when they travel to Denver for a Week 1 matchup with the Broncos, a team that returns many meaningful contributors and carries as much momentum into this season as any team. Based on the injury report, the challenge could be heightened because it is possible that one of the Titans' key offseason acquisitions might not be available. And in case anyone needed more evidence of what a tall task this opener is, the oddsmakers have made the Titans one of the two biggest underdogs for the NFL's opening weekend. </description>

      <title>On to the Regular Season</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans made their roster cuts this week to get to the NFL's regular-season limit of 53 players. Then they promptly used their position as the first team in the league's waiver order to make a handful of roster adjustments a day later, with a clear focus on one unit. Additionally, they named team captains, and the seven-person group includes one newcomer, one rookie and a couple of familiar names, but it also excludes one position group. All of this sets the stage for the start of the regular season, which will come in just over a week. </description>

      <title>One Preseason Game Remains</title>
      <description>After two preseason games on the road, the Tennessee Titans will close out their preparation with a home game against the Minnesota Vikings on Friday. The practice week leading up to that game included the return of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, who had not played or practiced since last October, and a brief -- but much-discussed -- shoving match between defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Speaking of Ward, his relatively brief appearances in the first two preseason contests have not been particularly revelatory or memorable, but there have been indications that he is different (read: better) than the other young quarterbacks this franchise has tried in recent years.</description>

      <description>The Tennessee Titans headed south this week for two days of joint workouts with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers followed by the preseason opener for both teams on Saturday. Before that, though, they brought back a player who knows a little something about the defense as well as the most notable member of this year's rookie class. Also, coach Brian Callahan made it clear that things will be different this year when he said that starters will play in all three preseason contests and when -- following a poor practice performance by the offense -- he unleashed a degree of fury on that unit.</description>

Wide receiver Treylon Burks (2022) was released after he sustained another injury, this one a fractured shoulder. Quarterback Cam Ward (2025) had a tough time with five interceptions over three days, including three in a single day. On the flip side, guard Peter Skoronski (2023) and tackle JC Latham (2024) were dominant at times (Latham in particular) against the defensive line and created optimism that the offensive line might actually be much better than it was a year ago.</description>

      <title>Training Camp has Started</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans did not have one of their quarterbacks when they opened training camp this week -- and they won't have him at any other point this season either. Will Levis was placed on injured reserve and will miss the entire 2025 season after he opted to have shoulder surgery. The decision takes away a little preseason drama and raises questions about the timing. ... Cam Ward did take part in the first training camp workout of his NFL career, and he called the offense's performance "mid." There are worse things for a rookie quarterback than an uneventful day. ... Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed is one of two veterans on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The reason he is there is somewhat unexpected and adds to the feeling that he will never be fully healthy for the Titans. ... Edge rusher Lorenzo Carter informed the team that he planned to retire rather than report for camp. The seven-year veteran never has had more than five sacks in a season and did not have one last season for Atlanta, yet his loss made waves among the fan base, which says something about the current state of the defense.</description>

      <title>A Quarterback Comparison</title>
      <description>Cam Ward is the latest quarterback the Tennessee Titans have selected early in the draft, following the likes of Vince Young, Jake Locker and Marcus Mariota. The others had their moments, but none measured up to the standard established by Steve McNair, the only quarterback to take the franchise to the Super Bowl. Ward has yet to throw a pass in the preseason (never mind the regular season), but there are some similarities in his story and his approach that compare favorably with McNair. Also, ESPN's preseason statistical projections for Ward and other key players have been published. We weigh in on whether those projections are optimistic or pessimistic.</description>

      <title>A Roster Short on Respect</title>
      <description>As training camp approaches, there is not a lot of respect for the Tennessee Titans' roster. Pro Football Focus recently released its rankings of the top 32 players at each position group, and more than half of those groups did not include any of the Titans. Also in recent days, a bookmaker said the overwhelming odds are that Tennessee will fail to make the playoffs this season. The fact is that  there are not a lot position groups where it is tough to figure who will make the roster. Likewise, there are not many well-established veterans who look like they could be pushed out before the start of the regular season.</description>

      <title>Next Stop: Training Camp</title>
      <description>Coach Brian Callahan opted for a maximum minicamp in his second season with the Tennessee Titans. Many NFL teams cut  the final day from the mandatory three-day session that concludes formal offseason work as a reward for the players' work over the preceding weeks (the Detroit Lions canceled their entire minicamp), but Callahan and his staff put the players through three full days of workouts before they cut them loose ahead of training camp.  ... Minicamp afforded the media three straight days to watch rookie quarterback Cam Ward. There was some good. There was some bad. And there was some banter -- particularly with defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. ... All of this and more, on this episode of First and Tenn.</description>

The one day of media access this week included an opportunity to see Ward work in third-down situations. The results were mixed. ... Changes to the coaching staff -- and some new job titles -- suggest that Brian Callahan took a critical look the operation last year and decided things needed to be different.

      <title>Speaking Up From Out of the Spotlight</title>
      <description>Will Levis almost certainly has lost his job, but the Tennessee Titans' starting quarterback for most of the past two seasons has not lost his candor. Out of the spotlight since Cam Ward was taken with the first overall pick in this year's draft, Levis finally spoke to the media during this week's organized team activities (OTAs). In short, he said his current situation "sucks," but that he has not asked for a trade and plans to work as hard as he can in what was largely an upbeat media session. ... Speaking of Ward, the media got to see him throw some 7-on-7. It was not a jaw-dropping session, but it also did not raise any red flags. Perhaps most telling was a comment from defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. ... Every year offers a reminder that OTAs are voluntary, but player absences still often create an overreaction, particularly when a prominent player is a no-show, as was the case this week. ... Finally, Chig Okonkwo gets no respect in a recent Pro Football Focus ranking of NFL tight ends.</description>

      <title>The 2025 Schedule is Here</title>
      <description>The 2025 NFL schedule has been released. The Tennessee Titans will open on the road (Denver) and finish on the road (Jacksonville). In between, however, they will be at home for all of November, when they play four games at Nissan Stadium in five weeks. Their open date comes after the first of those contests. That is good news given that -- historically speaking -- the Titans have been better at home in November than they have in other months. ... While everyone now knows what to look forward to, the recently completed rookie orientation, featuring quarterback Cam Ward, was not much to see. The youngsters focused exclusively on individual drills and evaluation rather than scheme assimilation and team drills. .... Finally, a former Titans star has cashed in big with another team.</description>

      <title>The Picks Are In</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans made nine picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, which is one more than they had going into it. The first was quarterback Cam Ward. Five of the next eight were on offense, including three potential pass catchers in the fourth round. All of that followed the free agent addition of veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett on the eve of the draft. The passing game is going to have a dramatically different cast of characters in 2025, and that includes -- even if no one is willing to say it yet -- the guy throwing the passes. The only mystery now is whether Will Levis is traded or kept around as a backup.</description>

The passing game is going to have a dramatically different cast of characters in 2025, and that includes -- even if no one is willing to say it yet -- the guy throwing the passes. The only mystery now is whether Will Levis is traded or kept around as a backup.</p>]]>

      <title>Cam Ward's Words Speak Volumes</title>
      <description>With a week to go before the 2025 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans made a number of roster moves. The most notable transactions were the release of one veteran offensive linemen and the corresponding additions of three others. An analytics exercise by The Athletic has determined that the Titans have the NFL's worst roster going into the draft. Speaking of the draft (and The Athletic), we look at what that publication's seven-round mock draft says about what the Titans might be thinking, And then, quarterback Cam Ward answered questions from fans during an online gaming chat, and his answers suggested he knows exactly what team will select him in the draft.</description>

      <title>There's a Catch -- A Lot of Them, the Titans Hope</title>
      <description>As the Tennessee Titans continue their preparations for the 2025 NFL Draft, the focus is on individual visits, which happened at the combine and continue to happen at pro days, in person and via video. Based on reported videos, the Titans seem to have a particular interest in wide receivers -- and understandably so. While this year's group at that position is not flush with first-round picks, as has been common in recent years, there are plenty who have traits the Titans would be happy to add to their offense.</description>

      <title>Zeroing In On No. 1 </title>
      <description>Tennessee Titans executives continue to talk about the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and continue to sound like a group that expects to use that pick on a quarterback. The latest comments to that effect came from general manager Mike Borgonzi and coach Brian Callahan at this week's NFL owners' meetings. Meanwhile, however, Callahan keeps talking up current quarterback Will Levis and the work that he is putting in this offseason.</description>

      <title>The Cam Ward Show</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans put on a show of force for Cam Ward's pro day at the University of Miami with an army of scouts, personnel people and others on hand. The question is: Does it show that the Titans have made up their mind to draft Ward, a quarterback, at No. 1 overall, or are they putting on a show for the rest of the league in an attempt to drive up the price another team might pay to trade for that No. 1 pick? On a related note, Tennessee made a move at quarterback this week, one which suggests a trade is at hand -- either with the pick or with Will Levis. Also, the question about who will be the kicker this season -- or at least who has the chance to nail down the job -- has been answered.</description>

      <title>Clarity at Quarterback (Not Really)</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans signed a veteran quarterback in free agency, but their plan at that position is still not clear. The Titans signed a veteran wide receiver, but their depth at that spot looks insufficient and their plan is unclear. The Titans cut a veteran quarterback, which opens the door for one of last year's rookies but also saddles them with a lot of dead money. These moves show that after a 3-14 season, this team is very much a work in progress and there will be no quick-fix this offseason.</description>

      <title>The First Deals of Free Agency</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans did not agree deals with any big-name free agents in the days leading up to the start of the NFL's new contract year, but the deals that did get done indicate there is one trait that the team's brain trust, led by Chad Brinker and Mike Borgonzi, values above all others.</description>

      <title>Combine Conversations and Player Opinions</title>
      <description>General manager Mike Borgonzi and coach Brian Callahan spoke this week at the NFL scouting combine. Predictably, quarterbacks were a prominent topic of conversation, and the general tone was that the Tennessee Titans could draft a quarterback this year, add one in free agency -- or both. In short, their media sessions did nothing to clarify where the franchise stands with its present quarterback, Will Levis. ... Harold Landry has been a consistent and productive -- if not a superstar -- over seven seasons with the Titans, who now have given him permission to seek a trade. Given his contract situation, it won't be easy to move Landry, but one way or another, it seems the Titans will be moving on from him. ... Results of the annual NFL Players' Association survey have been released, and -- generally speaking -- Titans players had good things to say about the organization and its leadership last season. Areas that were seen in a negative light in 2023 were addressed, and Callahan was well-regarded in his first year. There is one area, however, that players clearly said needs attention.</description>

It is the latest move in a long and winding (and not always successful) career that shows how much Mettenberger loves the game. ... A potential future Titans quarterback, Miami's Cam Ward, said this week that any team that does not draft him will regret that decision. Ward also talked about why he played only one-half of his team's bowl game. His quotes made headlines, but were they really noteworthy? And did they reveal anything about Ward that the Titans should consider as they weigh who to select with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft. ... The end of the current contract year is fast approaching, and the Titans have 20 pending unrestricted free agents. None of them are big-time contributors, as was the case a year ago. In fact, none might be considered irreplaceable, particularly for a team that only won three games.</description>

      <title>The Offseason Starts Now</title>
      <description>With the completion of Super Bowl LIX. the Tennessee Titans (and the rest of the NFL) officially can turn their attention to the future. Jalen Hurts' performance for Philadelphia in that game was the latest reminder that a team does not need a quarterback named Brady or Mahomes to be champions. The Eagles also showed that it helps to have some serious talent and production spread throughout the entire roster. Of course, the Titans, coming off a 3-14 season, have a quarterback who has -- to this point in his career -- looked nothing Mahomes or Brady, and the rest of the roster has some pretty serious holes. For general manager Mike Borgonzi and the rest of the personnel department, that means decisions must be made on what to do at quarterback, what to do with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and how to make sure the choices they make provide the biggest possible payoff.</description>

      <title>A Full Front Office</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans finally did what had been expected for so long. They fired special teams coordinator Colt Anderson after one year on the job. His replacement, John Fassel, has a long and productive history as an NFL special teams coordinator and looks -- by any measure -- to be a serious upgrade. ... Four other assistants are out or have moved on after their contracts were not renewed. One was passing game coordinator (defense) and cornerbacks coach Chris Harris, who arrived as part of Mike Vrabel's staff a couple years ago amid much fanfare. ... A week after Mike Borgonzi was hired as general manager, the Titans added two to their front office staff who have experience in that role. Former NFL general managers Reggie McKenzie and Dave Zieglers either give Tennessee an abundance of experience in roster-building and decision-making or they have too many cooks who ultimately will spoil the stew. ... The bulk of the Titans' personnel department spent last week at the East-West Shrine Bowl but did not see much of the main attraction, Colorado quarterback Shadeur Sanders. That does not mean they won't consider the son of a Pro Football Hall of Famer with the No. 1 overall pick.</description>

A week after Mike Borgonzi was hired as general manager, the Titans added two to their front office staff who have experience in that role. Former NFL general managers Reggie McKenzie and Dave Zieglers either give Tennessee an abundance of experience in roster-building and decision-making or they have too many cooks who ultimately will spoil the stew. ... The bulk of the Titans' personnel department spent last week at the East-West Shrine Bowl but did not see much of the main attraction, Colorado quarterback Shadeur Sanders. That does not mean they won't consider the son of a Pro Football Hall of Famer with the No. 1 overall pick.</p>]]>

      <title>Gonzo for Borgonzi</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans hired Mike Borgonzi to be their third general manager in the last 25 months. ... Borgonzi comes from the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was most recently assistant general manager, and continues a recent trend of the Titans hiring their top personnel man from a franchise with multiple Super Bowl appearances over the last decade. ... Franchise officials also did their best to clarify their new power structure in which the new general manager will report to the director of football operations, Chad Brinker. ... One of two unusual elements of the day was Brinker meeting with the media ahead of Borgonzi's press conference in an on-the-record session for which no audio or video recording was allowed so as not to distract from the day's main event. ... The second unusual element of the day was the absence of controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, who apparently felt no responsibility to speak to or answer questions about the instability she has created by firing one of the franchise's central figures each of the last three years. ... Brinker and Borgonzi each talked about wanting to be a draft-and-develop organization, but they also put forth a formula that they believe can accomplish that goal.</description>

      <title>General Manager Candidates A-Plenty</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans wasted no time in their search for a new general manager. Less than a week after Ran Carthon was fired, 10 candidates were interviewed virtually and six of those were selected to come to Nashville for a second, in-person interview. The only two of the 10 who previously worked as NFL general managers did not make the cut. One of those who did was a candidate two years earlier when Carthon was hired, and another has a long history with Chad Brinker, the man in charge of the search. ... Former Titans coach Mike Vrabel is the new head coach of the New England Patriots, which means he will be back in Nashville during the 2025 season when the Titans and Patriots meet at Nissan Stadium (date TBD). That game figures to serve as a sort of referendum for many on the merits of the decision to fire Vrabel a year ago. ... Carthon made an appearance on a Nashville radio station this week but did not offer anything of note about his time with the Titans or his ouster, which came less than a year after he was promoted a received a ringing endorsement from the owner. ... Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons created a bit of a social media uproar but did his best a day later to back away from it.</description>

      <title>Ran Carthon Takes the Fall</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans finished the 2024 season with a 3-14 record and the opportunity to pick first in the 2025 NFL Draft. Ran Carthon, the general manager who built the roster that won just those three games, will not get to make that selection to start this year's draft. Two days after a season-ending loss to the Houston Texans, controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk fired Carthon, announced that coach Brian Callahan will get a second season in charge and director of football operations Chad Brinker will be the man in charge of the roster and the search for Carthon's replacement. This is the third straight season that Strunk has made a major move within the team's leadership, and the inconsistency in who she trusts and promotes is cause for concern.</description>

      <title>1999 Seems So Long Ago</title>
      <description>A rainy day in Jacksonville stirred memories of when the Tennessee Titans played there early in the 1999 season, but the comparisons began and ended with the weather. Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars was a far cry from 25 years ago when a Titans' victory got the ball rolling on what turned out to be a Super Bowl run. Now, these Titans have lost five in a row, have clinched last place in the AFC South and -- with one game remaining -- are in position to land the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. ... For that final game, coach Brian Callahan has given up on trying to decide who should be his quarterback, so he will play Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, although he has no immediate plan on how to divide snaps and -- based on his comments -- no real expectation that either of them will perform at a meaningful level. ... If there has been a bright spot of late, it has been tight end Chig Okonkwo, who now has back-to-back seasons with 50 or more receptions, a stat that puts him in good company among the line of notable Titans tight ends. ... The final game will be at home against the Houston Texans, a team with nothing at stake but, nonetheless, plans to play its starters in preparation for the playoffs.</description>

      <description>Will Levis set a franchise record when he threw his fourth pick-6 of the season during Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It was the last thing he did in that game.

      <title>A Tough Loss, Some Hard Truths</title>
      <description>Following a 10-6 loss at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a game in which they failed to score a touchdown against the NFL's worst defense, it's impossible to feel good about the current state of the Tennessee Titans and increasingly difficult to feel good about the future. ... Coach Brian Callahan has not had the job for a full season but already he is on the hot seat. Does the fact that this franchise is building a new stadium and trying to sell pricey tickets for that venue help or hurt Callahan's chances to keep the job beyond this season? If he does survive, it is easy to think that Callahan should give up some of the responsibilities he took on in his first opportunity to lead an organization. ... Quarterback Will Levis continues to show improvement in some areas -- if you look for them. Overall, though, he is not doing nearly enough to make the offense consistently productive or to inspire confidence in that unit, let alone throughout the entire roster. ... The defense continues to look good statistically but -- surprisingly -- fails to deliver in key moments, as was the case Sunday against Jacksonville. ... This week, the Titans will face Callahan's former organization, the Cincinnati Bengals, which boasts exactly the kind of offense Tennessee thought it would get. Going head-to-head, however, it will be difficult for the Titans to keep pace.</description>

The loss to the Commanders was a game that featured many familiar problems such as penalties and special teams gaffes but also showcased something we haven't seen -- the inability to stop the run. ...

And having been outscored by 111 points overall thus far, they are on their way to a dubious bit of history. ...

Even with all of their issues, the Titans will be favored in their next contest, against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.</description>

      <title>Titans get a win against Houston; Defense is strong; Who wins game against Washington?</title>
      <description>In a game that featured plenty of dramatic momentum swings, the Titans knocked off the AFC South-leading Houston Texans 32-27.
It was a game that featured the best and worst of quarterback Will Levis. On the positive side, he had his third straight productive outing, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns. But we can’t gloss over the pick-six Levis threw, nor can we ignore the fact he was sacked eight times – which makes 20 sacks over the last three games. How should we evaluate Levis’ game overall, and what do we think his future looks like now?
The Titans put together a pretty impressive defensive performance against CJ Stroud and company, especially considering Tennessee’s starting secondary consisted of Jarvis Brownlee, Darrell Baker, Roger McCreary, Mike Brown and Daryl Worley. Who stepped up for the Titans on that side of the ball? 
Can the Titans make it two in a row on the road next week against the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels? The Commanders have lost three straight games, to Dallas, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. 
We preview and make our predictions. That and more in this week’s episode.</description>

The Titans put together a pretty impressive defensive performance against CJ Stroud and company, especially considering Tennessee’s starting secondary consisted of Jarvis Brownlee, Darrell Baker, Roger McCreary, Mike Brown and Daryl Worley. Who stepped up for the Titans on that side of the ball? 
Can the Titans make it two in a row on the road next week against the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels? The Commanders have lost three straight games, to Dallas, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. 
We preview and make our predictions. That and more in this week’s episode.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Even in Titans losses, is Will Levis improving? NWI is setting himself up for a big payday; predictions and more</title>
      <description>In a game that left Titans players, coaches, and fans angry and frustrated, the team fell 23-13 to Minnesota on Sunday. The Titans, as they have during most of the season, continued to pile up penalties – flagged 13 times for 91 yards. But some of the most crucial calls were also the most debatable — the unnecessary roughness call on Mike Brown, the two penalties against Jarvis Brownlee, and the three illegal formation calls against Isaiah Prince. We offer our evaluations of the zebra performance in Nissan Stadium.
Quarterback Will Levis continued to show some encouraging signs, throwing for 295 yards and a touchdown. He also had a 51-yard TD pass called back for a penalty. Are we sold on Levis for next season or are there still issues — such as pocket management and consistency — that he must overcome?
Why are the sack percentage numbers so different for Levis and Mason Rudolph this season? We discuss.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, a pending free agent, is setting himself up for a pay raise. How impressive is that he has five TD catches after not getting a single target for the first four weeks?
What challenges will the Titans face in Houston, dealing with C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins and Joe Mixon? The Houston defense had five sacks on Monday, which could mean trouble for the Titans on Sunday.
Predictions and more.</description>

      <title>Will Levis returns, Titans have no turnovers but fall to Chargers, listener questions, picks</title>
      <description>The Titans fell 27-17 to the Los Angeles Chargers, but welcomed quarterback Will Levis back to the lineup after he’d missed the previous three games. Levis did some good things, throwing a couple of touchdown passes to Calvin Ridley and keeping the ball out of the Chargers’ hands. But he was also sacked seven times and threw for 175 yards. What were our evaluations of his game overall? … Would it kill NFL Officiating to give the Titans (2-7) a break every now and then? They appeared to have created a momentum-turning play near the end of the first half, but what looked like a Jeffery Simmons strip sack – and Roger McCreary fumble return for a touchdown – was overruled. Fair or not? … What do we make of the Titans’ defense, which is No 1 in total yards allowed and No. 1 in passing yards allowed, but is giving up almost 27 points per contest? … Coming up this Sunday, the Titans face a Vikings team with plenty of offensive playmakers – Justin Jefferson, Aaron Jones and T.J. Hockenson – as well as a defense that’s totaled 30 sacks and allowed about 17 points per game. Can the Titans pull the upset? … We answer your questions, and we make our predictions for the Titans-Vikings contest.</description>

      <title>Titans get a win, but it might have come with a cost</title>
      <description>The Titans finally got back in the win column by beating the Patriots 20-17 in OT, and showed some resiliency in the process. Tennessee could easily have fallen apart after Drake Maye’s last-second TD pass tied it up on the last play of regulation. But both the Titans’ offense and defense made big plays in overtime.
Brian Callahan was emotional after the win. What made it so special?
The victory came at a cost, as the Titans lost center Lloyd Cushenberry and safety Quandre Diggs, likely for the season. Who needs to step up?
Tony Pollard, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Amani Hooker all had big games against the Patriots. What led to each? 
One lowlight from the game: As has been the case too often, the Titans’ special teams performance was abysmal 
The Titans hit the road this Sunday, trying to win a road game against the Chargers for the first time since 1992. Tennessee has lost nine straight in San Diego/LA since then.
What should the Titans expect from Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers, who have received big defensive contributions from several former Titans like Elijah Molden and Kristian Fulton?

      <title>A Very Special (Teams) Podcast</title>
      <description>We look back at Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Detroit Lions and wonder how much of a future special teams coach Colt Anderson has with this franchise after another disastrous performance by his units. Sub-par special teams play has been all too common this season. ... The performance came days after the Titans became part of the past for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and linebacker Ernest Jones IV, both of whom were traded away. ... For the second straight week, quarterback Mason Rudolph played in place of the injured Will Levis. In some ways, he delivered the best game by a Tennessee quarterback this season, but there were some downsides as well. ... Also for the second week in a row, coach Brian Callahan is being second-guessed for his play-calling, this time a sequence that started with first-and-goal from the 1 in the final minute of the first half. ... If anyone was happy about the Hopkins trade, it might have been Calvin Ridley, who looked like a changed man and put up some big numbers against the Lions. ... Even at 1-6 and after two straight blowout losses, the Titans are favored at home against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Between them, they have three wins and some truly pedestrian offensive stats, which means this has the potential to be one of the least interesting games in the NFL this season. Even so, for the Titans, it is probably a must-win.</description>

      <description>What did we see from backup quarterback Mason Rudolph in the loss to Buffalo, and did he give us any reason to think he should start over Will Levis? 
What's the disconnect between Calvin Ridley and Titans quarterbacks? Is he starting to look like a very pricey bust? 
DeAndre Hopkins appeared to be on the sideline for most if not all of the fourth quarter. Is that a trade waiting to happen? 
The Titans went downhill after a failed fourth-down attempt in the third quarter. Right call or wrong call to go for it at that point?
What kind of challenge do the Titans face in Detroit this week, and do they stand any chance of pulling the upset?

      <title>Tough loss to Colts leave Titans in must-win vs. Bills</title>
      <description>The Tennessee Titans lost a game they needed to win, and probably should have won. The 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Nashville was, once again, because of quarterback Will Levis making some poor throws and bad decisions that cost the team. Are we nearing the end of him as the Titans quarterback? John Glennon of the Nashville Post and David Boclair of the Nashville Banner discuss that and how the loss to the Colts puts the Titans in a difficult situation for the rest of the season. The guys look ahead to the matchup against the Buffalo Bills and make their predictions on who will win.</description>

      <description>Nashville Post/Scene sports reporter Michael Gallagher and Post sports contributor Logan Butts talk Tennessee Titans.

  How many defensive backs can the Titans sign in one calendar year?

  Harold Landry and Bud Dupree are huge losses for the front seven. Do the Titans have the answer to their pass rush problem in-house?</description>
