The Tennessee Titans failed to move up in the 2024 NFL draft order on Sunday after knocking off the Jacksonville Jaguars, 28-20.
While I was certainly in the camp of wanting the Titans to lose this game, the result didn’t leave me totally upset because the victory did knock the Jags out of playoff contention.
The Titans are returning the favor one season after Jacksonville did the same to Tennessee. Adding to that, this is a hugely disappointing end of the year for the Jags, who many pegged to at least win the division.
With the win, combined with a victory by the New York Jets, the Titans will pick from the No. 7 spot, where they entered the week. Only a loss could’ve moved Tennessee up.
Despite the worse draft pick, Titans fans did find solace in the fact that their division rival will be on the couch with them next week. Here’s how fans reacted.
Ruined the tank but who cares we got revenge and the Tannehill/Henry era ended with a dub

In 2022, the #Titans were 7-3… and ultimately got knocked out of the playoffs in Jacksonville on Week 18.
In 2023, the #Jaguars were 8-3… and ultimately got knocked out of the playoffs in Tennessee on Week 18.
Favor = repaid

Knowing the #Titans can't move up from No. 7 but also stopped the Jaguars from making the playoffs. pic.twitter.com/nG33oCiXre

Been a disappointing season but what a great win to end with.
Have a feeling this team is going to look very different from a player perspective next year and possibly a staff one too.
All I know is I can’t thank Henry and Tannehill enough for all they’ve done for us.#TitanUp⚔️ https://t.co/kLemW6gaFJ— TitanTheCollector(6-11)🔱 (@collector_titan) January 7, 2024

I remember when people tried to tell us Trevor Lawrence was elite and the Jags were Super Bowl contenders 😂😂😂 https://t.co/1jmjHNFb36

Payback for knocking us out last year. If it is Henry’s last game as a Titan, it was as good as it could’ve been. Go #Titans #TitanUp https://t.co/tFeNpSw0vx
