The Tennessee Titans entered the 2019 postseason as the sixth seed. Despite that, they managed to turn some heads.

They did so by upsetting the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round. Then they followed that up with an even bigger upset, beating the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round.

All that meant they met the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. While the game started off great for the Titans, it was the Chiefs that ended up winning.

That means the Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl to play the winners of the NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers.

It also means that the six seed Titans did not make the Super Bowl. That adds on another year to the run. The last team to make the Super Bowl as a sixth seed was the Packers back in 2010.

Funnily enough, they are playing to make the biggest game of the year again this year. They did not enter as a sixth seed, though.

Before the Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers made the Super Bowl back in 2005. They are the only other team to make it that far as a sixth seed.

The Titans might not have made the Super Bowl, but they've definitely made a lot of fans believers. Believers of the defense of Derrick Henry, of Ryan Tannehill and head coach Mike Vrabel.

Although they went just 9-7 in the regular season and barely made the playoffs, they showed they have arrived. Don't expect Tennessee to go into the 2020 regular season as underdogs. They have put the football world on notice.

Meanwhile, the sixth seed is still finding it challenging to make the Super Bowl. That shouldn't be all that surprising though if we're being honest.
