How do the Titans fare heading into Week 12?

Nate Davis, USA TODAY:

They don't score a lot of points – their 18 TDs are the second fewest in the AFC – but they get their money's worth. WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine's 98-yarder on Sunday was the longest touchdown reception in the league this season.

NFL Nation, ESPN:

Preseason Hot Seat: RG Dillon Radunz
Current hot seat temperature: Cold

Radunz has settled in well now that he knows he can focus on one position – in 2023 he started at right tackle, left guard, left tackle and right guard. He started nine out of ten games and was an important factor in the storming attack. running back Tony Pollard directly benefited from Radunz's blocks on two of his longest runs this season. His pass defense could improve, especially after Radunz gave up a sack in each of the last two weeks. But he played his way into a multi-year contract.

Ben Rolfe, Pro Football Network:

It's hard to be too positive about the Tennessee Titans, who have now lost five of their last six games. Tennessee's defense continues to falter compared to its strong start, and unfortunately the offense is struggling to get going. Will Levis looked better this week, and that's all anyone could ask for right now.

The Titans will benefit more from losing and gaining draft position than they will from winning and keeping their slim playoff hopes alive. Levis' development and squad evaluation are the key elements of the last seven games.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News:

The Titans were overwhelmed in Will Levis' second season, as their pass-oriented nature also caused more damage than expected to a decent defense. Brian Callahan is also learning how to train week after week.

Frank Schwab, Yahoo! sport:

Will Levis' last two games: 470 yards, three touchdowns, one interception, 103.2 passer rating. It's far from perfect, but it gives it some oomph. Finishing strong could be very important for him and the Titans.

Diante Lee, The Alarm Clock:

If you're ever lucky enough to see the Titans play your favorite team, you'll relish the opportunity to witness the wide range of possible outcomes of a game with Levis at quarterback. If the first reading doesn't ring true for him, all bets are off. On throws of 2.5 seconds or longer, Levis ranks 29th out of 36 qualified quarterbacks in passer rating and has been sacked the eighth most times despite starting just seven games. Levis isn't a good quarterback when he gets the ball out quickly, but when he makes timely moves, the offense is much more viable. The main problem is that the system doesn't provide any safeguards that could stop Levis from making terrible decisions. After he recorded five sacks and committed a turnover on Sunday, I wonder when the coaching staff will bench him to cover their own ass.

Eric Edholm, NFL.com:

Will Levis' bomb to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for a 98-yard score gave the Titans life, and the offense put several plays together in the second half. But on Sunday in the fourth quarter, they settled for a field goal and converted it twice on downs before Levis hit the game-winning pick. The Titans were also doomed by their previous mistakes, including several drive-extending penalties that significantly helped the Vikings' offense. This game came down to execution, and Minnesota was clearly superior in that regard. One of the biggest differences between Brian Callahan's Titans and the Bengals team he came from is that Cincinnati has been one of the more disciplined clubs when it comes to the flags under Zac Taylor since he became head coach. But Tennessee now has 82 accepted penalties in 10 games under Callahan, with 67 of those callbacks coming in the last seven games. The Titans' turnover differential is also minus-11, the second-worst figure in the league. So it's no surprise that they've only won once since September.
