Wins: 9
This is a number this franchise just can’t seem to shake. After all, the Titans have totaled nine wins in each of the past four seasons; although nine wins was good enough to make the playoffs in two of those years, both of which saw the team notch at least one playoff win.
Regardless, if the Titans want to show they’re really moving in the right direction and are becoming a perennial contender under head coach Mike Vrabel, achieving a double-digit win season and an AFC South title is a good way to go about it.
The reason for optimism that this will happen is that the Titans get a full year with Ryan Tannehill, who elevated the team’s offense to new heights and was 9-4 as a starter (including playoffs) in his first year in Nashville.
If the Titans can continue to play at the level they did after Tannehill was named the starter in Week 7, the Titans will finally get over the 9-7 hump.
