They didn't play last week but are one of six undefeated teams. Tennessee's three victories have come by a total of six points. The Titans are scheduled to host the Bills in Week 5.

The COVID-19 situation led to a bye week, so now it will be interesting to see how they respond to it. Mike Vrabel is the type of coach who can handle it, but Buffalo is a big challenge this week.

Worst. Bye. Week. Ever. Here's hoping Tennessee is over COVID-19 hump, ready to play what should be an entertaining game against Buffalo.

FPI chance to make playoffs: 69.5%

Considering the defense has given up 60 points over the past two games, this is just right. Fortunately, the offense put up 33 and 30 points, respectively, in those two contests. The teeth of the schedule is approaching, with games against the Bills, Steelers, Colts and Ravens coming up. It is reasonable that the Titans lose the majority of those games, though Tennessee is a team that has a habit of playing up to the competition. Perhaps the biggest obstacle is the recent coronavirus outbreak that decimated the Titans' roster and caused last week's game to be postponed. However, the week off did give players such as Taylor Lewan, Adoree' Jackson and A.J. Brown additional time to get healthy. -- Turron Davenport

An outbreak of positive coronavirus tests within the Titans organization forced the team to go dark in Week 4 and presents a massive non-football challenge in the middle of a season that had started with much promise. Good news came Monday, when NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the team received no new positive COVID-19 test results to start the week. Same story on Tuesday. The hope is that it stays that way, all while the league and players' union investigate possible protocol violations by the Titans, who've had 21 members of the organization test positive. Football coaches preach about the need for focus and resiliency -- but this is a different animal altogether.
