Tennessee Titans start crucial game against New England Patriots

Win, lose or draw, the Tennessee titans have a big game coming up in Week 9 against the New England Patriots.

While a draw is perhaps one of the most disappointing results of any football match, regardless of opponent, the Titans will have major ramifications from this match whether they come out on top or not.

Here’s a look at what would happen if the Titans win or lose:

A victory for the Titans would give them some relief from all the frustrating losses they have suffered in recent weeks. It could ultimately be the kick in the pants they need to get their season back on a respectable track.

A win won’t solve all their problems, but it can go a long way toward solving some long-term issues.

A win against the Patriots could also have major implications for the 2025 NFL Draft. A Titans win would give them a 2-6 record, while the Patriots would drop to 2-7. That would put New England ahead of Tennessee in the current draft order and give the Patriots the tiebreaker over the Titans if the two teams have identical records at the end of the year.

Things can go from ugly to nasty when the Titans lose their fourth game in a row and seventh of eight.

Tennessee’s record would go to 1-7, which would still place them as one of the two worst teams in the league alongside the Carolina Panthers.

A loss would also make a head coach Brian Callahan’s chair even hotter than before, along with the rest of the coaching staff.

The loss is still unacceptable, even with all the team’s injuries, and the longer it goes on, the more Callahan is responsible and his staff will be.
