The Tennessee Titans are one of 12 teams in the NFL to have never won a Super Bowl, and according to one writer, they are the furthest away from doing so of those dozen teams.
According to USA TODAY’s Nate Davis, the Titans are ranked dead-last on the list, even falling behind the rebuilding Houston Texans. Here’s his explanation for the ranking:
Are they the worst team in the NFL? No, not yet anyway. But they ended the 2022 season with an AFC-high seven-game losing streak, unable to compete in the conference’s worst division. And it seems like this organization’s journey to rock bottom is ongoing … meaning it may be just as likely Nashville will host its first Super Bowl in a new stadium that could be online by the 2026 season – perhaps about the same time the Titans will be relevant again? – as it is Music City’s team will be competing for a crown.
Where the Titans should land on this list greatly depends upon the approach of new general manager, Ran Carthon, this offseason.
If Carthon blows it up, then Tennessee should be near the bottom of this list, although I still think they’d be ahead of at least the Houston Texans.
If the Titans retool like most expect, Tennessee should be much higher than this. I tend to believe a retool will occur and the Titans will be back to legitimately competing again in 2023.
