Disrespected. Doubted. Disregarded.
It would be fair to call the 2021 Tennessee Titans any one of those adjectives before their divisional-round meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Of the eight remaining teams, Tennessee has the third-worst odds to win the Super Bowl at +850 with BetMGM, behind the San Francisco 49ers (+1000) and Bengals (+1200). The Titans have already been described as "the worst No. 1 seed since 1983" by ESPN and Football Outsiders based on multiple advanced metrics despite a 12-5 record second consecutive AFC South title.
It doesn't help that they're also led by Ryan Tannehill, a quarterback who finished 16th in passing yards and passing touchdowns and 24th in yards-per-completion.
