NFL analyst gives Titans failing grade for 2024

The Tennessee Titans finished off their miserable 2024 campaign with a 23-14 loss to the Houston Texans and officially became the worst team in the NFL.

That defeat, coupled with a New England victory, thrust the Titans into prime draft position when they secured the first-overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft.

Now that the season is over, it is a great time to look back and see what went wrong and of course, dish out the season grade. That is what Will Brinson did for CBS Sports in his article,  Sorting the Sunday Pile.

Titans – F

They finished as the worst team in football and now have a decision to make on whether they want to take a quarterback up top or try and keep turning Will Levis into Josh Allen 2.0. (That’s a Pete Prisco joke in case you think I’m serious.) It wouldn’t have been all that shocking if they moved on from Brian Callahan, but the expectations were reasonably low for this team, so it probably would have been a pretty hefty knee-jerk reaction. There are some nice pieces on offense but the OL has to improve. Again, when you have the No. 1 pick coming out of the year, things probably didn’t go as planned.

Brinson is spot on. It was a disappointing season and only added to more questions for a team that enters the offseason with many. The Titans do have some talent across their roster, but they also have some major holes and in this draft, the top pick will only help so much.

The Titans need to make some changes to their staff while improving the roster. Right tackle is a huge hole, the quarterback situation is a mess and they need more playmakers across the board. They also need to get healthy. Several veteran additions missed significant time in 2024 and that didn’t help the cause.

There is no question the Titans failed in 2024 and they truly deserved the F they received.
