The Tennessee Titans have a pivotal stretch of games coming. This is their golden opportunity to go from “good to great.” Will they capitalize?

The Tennessee Titans have been sensational as of late. Aside from the thrilling Baltimore Ravens, they’ve easily been the hottest team in the NFL. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrived in his new home in Nashville and has the Titans on a big run towards the postseason.

Head coach Mike Vrabel began the mantra “good to great” in the Titans locker room this past offseason. He forbade his players from saying the word “good” all offseason to try and change the mindset as he wanted to change the 9-7 culture that’s been a constant theme since 2016.

I believe it even went as far as you had to do pushups or some sort of physical activity if you said the word “good,” even in an interview with the media. Vrabel was serious about changing the culture and believed it all started with the way you speak and think.

However, the season began with the typical Titans results: a 2-4 start, lousy offense, and inconsistency. So, it seemed as if the tactic failed to work. In fact, it seemed the Titans went from “good” to bad. Luckily, a man named Ryan Tannehill existed and was ready to save the Titans’ season.

Now, the 7-5 Tennessee Titans find themselves with a golden opportunity to look their past woes in the eyes, grab it by the throat, and say, “you no longer define me!” We will find out a lot about these Titans in the next four weeks. Let’s take a look at each game and check out my predictions for each one.
