Following a 2-4 start Titans, head coach Mike Vrabel was considered to be as good as fired. Hired to fix the Tennessee offense in 2018 he seemed to make it worse than when he took over. Correlate the benching of quarterback Marcus Mariota that came with the Pro Football betting failures. Mariota was once considered the savior of the franchise. In his place came Ryan Tannehill, a refugee from the Miami Dolphins. Tannehill, Vrabel and the Titans have since had a remarkable turnaround. New Orleans was the first team to clinch its division title, but have shown cracks occasionally.
