The Tennessee Titans are on a bye in Week 10, taking a 1-8 record into their week off. There’s not a lot of hope that they will start winning when they return to the field, either. After the bye, the Titans have three divisional games, they host the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs, and they visit the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers.
This team has faced a ton of adversity this season. From injuries to key players like T’Vondre Sweat, Jeffery Simmons, Calvin Ridley, and J.C. Latham, to the firing of Brian Callahan, it’s been a long first half of the season.
Still, we’ve seen individual improvement from some players, including Cam Ward. The inconsistency of this team is its greatest downfall, and it’s on the coaching staff to fix that.
Let’s take a look at the best and worst performances as the Titans head into the bye week, as graded by Pro Football Focus.
