Summary

The Tennessee Titans new schedule dropped and the big revenge game in Week 1 against the New York Jets is a MUST WIN. Yes, it is Week 1 and one loss won't ruin a season, but it is hard to see how the Titans could hit their ceiling in 2026 without winning their home opener and setting a proper tone for the year. There are plenty of examples that would push back on this, but the Titans situation is unique. There are other matchups that can really determine the Titans season because they could go either way and most of them are with teams in the AFC North. Taking a few of these could change the terms of the Titans' outcome. Finally, there are a few games that could really skyrocket the Titans to new heights if they turn into victories. An away game against the Detroit Lions late in the year and a season finale showdown with the Houston Texans are on the list.
