Tennessee will try to shake off the sour memories of last year’s playoff exit and rebound this fall.

The 2021 campaign ended in heartbreak for the Titans after a dazzling run through the regular season that earned Tennessee the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
Unfortunately, the Titans ran into an upstart Bengals team that upended the conference’s top seed with a gritty 19–16 victory in the divisional round of the playoffs. Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw three interceptions, including one that set up the game-winning field goal for Cincinnati, in the loss.
That performance was one that sat with Tannehill for a long time and one that will surely be a major talking point heading into the 2022 season. Speculation about the Titans’ long-term future at the position has already been on the rise after Tennessee selected Liberty standout Malik Willis in the third round of this year’s NFL draft.
Willis wasn’t the only notable storyline to emerge from the Titans draft as the team also traded Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles during the first round. The deal will likely lead to more responsibility falling on the shoulders of All-Pro running back Derrick Henry, who missed the final half of the 2021 regular season with a fractured foot.
The Titans will head into the fall as two-time defending AFC South champions but may be hard-pressed to win for the third year in a row. Here’s who Tennessee will go up against in 2022:
