The Tennessee Titans have two more games left before their disappointing 2023 campaign comes to a merciful end, with the first of those contests coming in Week 17 against the Houston Texans.
While no doubt disappointing, Tennessee’s second playoff-less season in a row hasn’t been a total failure.
The Titans have gotten an impressive season overall out of their 2023 draft class, which is highlighted by rookie quarterback Will Levis, who looks like a long-term solution in Tennessee.
Adding to the optimism for 2024, general manager Ran Carthon will have a ton of cap space to work with, on top of early selections in the first two rounds.
Meanwhile, the Texans have made a massive leap in the first year of the DeMeco Ryans era, mostly thanks to the outstanding play of their rookie signal-caller, C.J. Stroud, who has been better than anyone could have expected.
Now, a look at five things to know ahead of this AFC South showdown.
