The Tennessee Titans fell on their faces against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, losing 25-3 and extending their losing streak to seven games.

It's hard to find words of positivity for this team right now. There have been flashes of great things this season, but the Titans have been wildly inconsistent.

Cam Ward has played behind 10 different offensive line combinations this season, resulting in him taking more sacks than any other quarterback in the NFL (51 through Week 13). It's difficult for any quarterback to find success with that many offensive line changes, let alone a rookie quarterback who's adjusting to the game.

The defense hasn't been much help this season, either. The secondary has been largely deconstructed, and three linebackers remain on injured reserve, including rookie Oluwafemi Oladejo. Jeffery Simmons has missed time with an injury, too.

As we enter Week 14, here's a look at where the Titans place in a multitude of power rankings.

A showdown between Ward and Shedeur Sanders would have sounded a lot more compelling eight months ago.

Here’s a list of categories in which the Titans rank 32nd in the NFL: wins, point differential, yards gained, points scored, first downs, passing touchdowns, points per drive. They’re also second-to-last in EPA (expected points added) per play and success rate on offense. The Titans' defense is a little better but still has given up the fourth-most points and is fifth-worst in EPA per play allowed. It’s hard to keep the Raiders out of the bottom spot, but the Titans have done it. It’s a historically bad team.

Tennessee's offensive line is in too much disarray for this team to even sniff a win these days, but the Titans should still be thrilled about Cam Ward's brightest moments this year. He clearly has the arm talent, athleticism, and poise to be a quality starter, even if few people outside of Nashville seem to be paying attention.

In comes Cleveland next week, with their highly discussed rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. With added eyeballs on that game, I hope to see Ward show why he was the first pick of the 2025 draft, and why the gulf between him and Sanders as prospects was so large.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News: 32 (NC)

The Titans had some offensive sparks in Week 12, only to lose all of that positivity with Cam Ward in Week 13. The defense needs a lot of work for 2026.

The No. 1 pick is coming into focus. They are bad. Really bad.

Conor Orr, Sports Illustrated: 31 (NC)

This may be the funniest moment of the season. The Jaguars’ punter threatened to kill someone on the Titans and Liam Coen had to be asked about it.

Josh Kendall, The Athletic: 32 (NC)

The Titans have been bad enough that they already have a 52 percent chance of earning the No. 1 pick and are basically guaranteed a top-five pick (95 percent). The offseason can’t get here quickly enough.

Barry Werner, List Wire: 32 (NC)

The Titans have been outscored by 158 points this season.

Walter Football: 32 (NC)

The Titans are now 7-25 against the spread since Week 1 of last year. They covered three in a row before the Jacksonville game, but two of those came because of Chimere Dike punt return touchdowns. Dike gave money back to the Titans bears with a lost fumble on a kickoff. Meanwhile, Cam Ward didn’t scramble at all until garbage time, which doesn’t make any sense. Did Ward forget once again that he can run?

NFL Nation, ESPN: 32 (NC)

X factor for final stretch: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons

Despite missing two games, Simmons' 6.5 sacks has him on pace for his first double-digit sack season. He leads the Titans with 29 quarterback pressures (second most among DTs in the NFL), 12 of which came against double teams. Simply put, as he goes, the Titans' defense goes. Simmons' ability to beat double teams allows other defensive linemen to get one-on-one matchups. And his impact extends beyond the pass rush. He's consistently making plays behind the line of scrimmage, as shown by his 10 tackles for loss.
