WHERE THEY ARE: On the fringes of contention after a home loss to the Texans for the AFC South lead. The Titans need to win out and get help.

WHAT THEY EXCEL AT: QB Ryan Tannehill has had the best stretch of his career and will earn a hefty contract. Power running with Derrick Henry, who also has a burst and finds the end zone.

WHAT THEY NEED: More consistency in the passing game, though rookie A.J. Brown has been a revelation catching passes. Much tighter coverage in the secondary. Better special teams.

KEY PLAYERS: Henry is the main main on offense. The O-linemen need to measure up — they allow too many sacks. Teams also can pass on the secondary, so Harold Landry must remain a force as a pass rusher

POTENTIAL OUTCOME: Staying home in January. If they sneak into the playoffs, a quick exit.
