2020 NFL Power Rankings: Tennessee Titans

Throughout the 2020 NFL season, we will compile a consensus NFL Power Rankings that averages the rankings of all 32 NFL teams.

Here is where the Tennessee Titans rank in terms of average, best and worst:

Below you will find a Week 4 roundup for the Titans in our consensus 2020 NFL Power Rankings.

The Athletic -- Rank: 12

What we learned: Stephen Gostkowski is good again. Remember 20 years ago in Week 1 when he missed three field goals and an extra point? It looked like the Titans had not solved their kicking problem from a year ago. But Gostkowski bounced back in a big way and is a big reason why the Titans are 3-0. Ryan Tannehill and the offense deserve credit for connecting on big plays downfield in their win against the Vikings. And the defense, despite a rough day overall, came up big down the stretch. But in a game that was decided by one point, Gostkowski made six field goals, including three in the second half from 50-plus yards out. If he misses one of those, the Titans don't win this game. Tennessee has won three games by a total of six points. As a point of reference, the Dolphins have outscored their opponents by five points and are 1-2.

CBS Sports -- Rank: 7

They are 3-0 and Ryan Tannehill has played well. But they better tighten up the defense after giving up 30 points each of the past two weeks.

USA Today -- Rank: 7

They've never lost (10-0) when RB Derrick Henry has at least 25 carries ... so pretty obvious how Tennessee should script its first 25 plays.

ESPN -- Rank: 6

What we got wrong: The Titans would have a top-tier defense.

The Titans gave up 480 yards of offense to the Jaguars in Week 2. A struggling Vikings offense dropped 464 yards on them this past Sunday. Opponents have scored 30 points on Tennessee in each of the past two games. There's plenty to correct, starting with a run defense that has been steamrollered the past two weeks. Jacksonville gained 165 yards on the ground, and Minnesota ran for 226. The Titans are fortunate to have a 3-0 record given their defensive shortcomings. -- Turron Davenport

NFL.com -- Rank: 7

Stephen Gostkowski is one of the best stories of the young season. He suffered a nightmare Week 1 on Monday Night Football, missing a career-high four kicks and becoming the butt of Twitter jokes for three hours. But Mike Vrabel stuck with the 15th-year veteran, who rewarded the faith of his coach with a monster performance against the Vikings on Sunday: 6 for 6 on field goals, including the go-ahead 55-yard boot in the final two minutes of a 31-30 win. Gostkowski's personal comeback shows resilience and mental toughness, traits that are just as important as a powerful leg in his world. The Titans, who have won their first three games by a combined six points, get the undefeated Steelers in Week 4 and 3-0 Bills in Week 5.
