4 HRS AGO - Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images Two new podcasts! In case you haven’t heard already, the Titans pulled off the upset of their season by beating the Chiefs in Nashville last weekend. Now heading into the bye at 5-5, the season is not over... Jimmy recorded a recap discussion of the game for MCM Radio on Monday, check that out here: And last night, James and I recorded our own takeaways from the game including evaluating the performance of defense, offense, and special teams, a discussion of Ryan Tannehill’s future in Tennessee, and updating our thoughts on Art Smith and Mike Vrabel at this point in the season. Here’s that episode: As always, I remind you to subscribe to our podcast feed by searching for Music City Miracles wherever you get your podcasts.

1 DAY AGO - Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports So do the Titans for some strange reason... The inconsistency of this Titans team remains consistent. Games you expect them to wrap up are lost and games you expect them to have no shot in result in improbable victories against some of the league’s best teams. Such is the case against the Chiefs, a team Tennessee has had a surprising amount of success against in recent games. The Titans have a four game winning streak against Kansas City dating back to 2014, including the Wild Card victory in 2017. Yesterday’s 35-32 victory kept the Titans’ AFC South hopes alive heading into the bye, yet to play the division leading Texans once. This team makes no sense, but one player that has constantly dominated the Chiefs is none other than Derrick Henry. In his first career game against them, Henry had 9 carries for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Not that noteworthy outside of the two scores, but now consider that in three games Henry has 402 yards on 55 Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports What a game. The Titans pull off a colossal upset agains the Chiefs. Ryan Tannehill wasn’t perfect but he got the job done, the defense did enough, and Derrick Henry did what he does. Run past and over the defense. The Titans now go into the bye week at 5-5. We’ve seen this team get these types of wins before. Dallas, NE, and Philly last year, for example. The key is going to be building on it and stacking 3-4 wins on it. The Titans are giving up big plays on defense which is something they weren’t doing earlier this year. Mecole Hardman gashed them for a big play and Tyreek Hill ate the DBs lunch. Ryan Tannehill was clutch, leading a 4 play TD drive and 2 point conversion to give the Titans a 3 point lead. I’ve been very pleasantly surprised with Tannehill’s play, but he does take way too many unnecessary sacks. Like I said earlier, Derrick Henry was a monster. Give him the ball more and road grade these teams. Also get the ball to AJ Brown more. Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports Is this the game the Titans shock the world like the Patriots game last year? I sure hope so. Use this thread to discuss the game. Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - Photo by Peter G. Aiken/Getty Images Buy tickets to Titans vs. Chiefs from StubHub HERE Aren’t you so excited that Patrick Mahomes is coming back? I know I am! This is a big game for the Titans. A loss here pretty much ends the season. They are probably going to need at least 10-6 to make the playoffs. Do you see them running the table after a loss here? A win here gives them some momentum heading into the bye. We saw them win some big games last year that we thought they wouldn’t win. Can they rally and do that again this year?

5 DAYS AGO - Photo by Bryan Woolston/Getty Images Last week the Titans faced the Carolina Panthers and their 32nd ranked DVOA rush defense. That seemed like a perfect opportunity to #establishtherun because the Panthers are bad against it and that is #allegedly what this coaching staff wants to do. What actually happened? Derrick Henry got 2 carries in the first half.* This week the Titans face the Kansas City Chiefs at Nissan Stadium. The Chiefs defense currently ranks 28th DVOA against the run and somewhat surprisingly 4th against the pass. They also rank 31st in schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to running backs and 6th to wide receivers in the same stat. Add this to the fact that the Titans defense is suddenly 20th in DVOA against the pass, and it seems like a great time to feed Henry. That is the best way to attack the opposing defense with the added benefit of keeping the most explosive offense in the league off the field. What will Arthur Smith do? If the last 2 weeks are any Collapse

5 DAYS AGO - Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Ryan Tannehill thinks the Titans should start scoring points earlier and more often. Sage advice from the Titan QB, and advice I would like them to take. Logan Ryan heaps on the praise for Leshaun Sims who will be stepping in for Malcolm Butler. The Titans do not have a top flight QB/WR combo says NFL.com. They are definitely not wrong, albeit I think that the Titans have some great receiving targets. Derrick Henry is #11 in the RB index on NFL.com Ben Jones is in concussion protocol and hopefully he recovers before Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. ESPN has the reasons why all 4 teams in the AFC South will win the division and why they won’t. They won’t because of penalties and a bad offense, their chances lie with their defense. Collapse

6 DAYS AGO - Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images There is a pretty big game featuring two of them coming up this weekend in case you hadn’t heard. Three weeks ago we started browsing the 2020 quarterback class for potential options for a Titans team that seems highly likely to be selecting a passer at or near the top of next year’s draft. I figured now would be a good time to update our list with the Alabama-LSU game coming up on Saturday featuring the two quarterbacks that most view as the consensus top prospects at the position, Tua Tagovailoa and Joe Burrow. Before we jump into the quarterbacks, I want to do a little mythbusting of ridiculous comments that you’re likely going to hear from Titans fans over the next six months... “I don’t want them to take anymore quarterbacks from [insert college or conference of any failed former Titans QB here].” This one is hyper annoying to me for some reason, because it’s so ridiculous. You’ll absolutely hear people say they versions of this: “No to Tua, Collapse

7 DAYS AGO - Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images The Titans announced this afternoon that they have placed Malcolm Butler on IR with a wrist injury suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. This ends Butler’s season. He has been up and down during his time with the Titans, but has been pretty good for the most part. They also announced that they re-signed Tye Smith to the roster to take Butler’s place. Smith has played some significant snaps for this team in the past. He is a solid guy to have for depth at corner. As if it wasn’t hard enough to match up with the receivers for the Chiefs, the Titans will now have to do it without one of their best corners. You will most likely see LeShaun Sims take over on the outside when they go to nickel playing opposite of Adoree Jackson with Logan Ryan in the slot. Sims has played well at times but struggled when filling in for Adoree against the Buccaneers. Collapse
