The Tennessee Titans notched an impressive win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4, and that result should have them moving up the NFL power rankings of experts going into Week 5.
Or at least we thought — USA TODAY’s Nate Davis actually has the Titans moving down one spot from No. 20 to No. 21 despite the dominant victory. Here’s his write-up:
21. Titans (20): Half of RB Derrick Henry’s eight career completions have produced touchdowns. Maybe he should be Tennessee’s quarterback.
Not exactly the explanation we were looking for.
It should be noted that the Bengals have been playing horribly so far this season, so the Titans’ win wasn’t nearly as impressive as it would’ve been had Cincinnati been looking like its normal self going into the game.
While Davis has the Titans moving in the opposite direction you’d expect after a dominant win, it was a different story in the rest of our round-up.
Let’s check it out.
