The Tennessee Titans dropped their Week 12 contest to the Cincinnati Bengals, which has them moving backwards in NFL power rankings going into Week 13.
We start with USA TODAY’s Nate Davis, who has the Titans moving back one spot to No. 11. Here’s what he had to say about Tennessee:
11. Titans (10): They pretty much go as their best player does. Tennessee is now 1-3, Sunday’s loss included, when RB Derrick Henry doesn’t rush for at least 85 yards.
While Tennessee’s passing attack has taken steps in the right direction these last three games, the rushing attack is going the opposite way thanks to very shoddy blocking upfront.
Henry has failed to break the century mark in each of the last three games after a five-game streak, and he’s averaged just 2.8, 3.1 and 2.2 yards per carry in that span.
The Titans are going to need a lot more than that moving forward, especially in a very tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Now, the rest of our power rankings round-up.
