The Tennessee Titans are one of the NFL's feel-good stories. They weren't even supposed to be in the playoffs after losing four of their first six games, but they have now taken down the Baltimore Ravens — the best team in the AFC — in spectacular fashion. The Titans are the encapsulation of what an underdog is.
However, head coach Mike Vrabel is against the underdog label. In fact, he believes that the team shouldn't associate themselves with it so much.
According to ESPN's Turron Davenport, he'll be drilling it to his men that the job isn't finished just yet.
Mike Vrabel says the "Underdog" thing is overrated. He says they will work to keep improving and not let complacency sink in. #Titans

The Titans played a fantastic game of football against the Ravens. They managed to contain Lamar Jackson to make careless passes. The running game was in full steam, as both Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry played fantastic football. The Titans have shown themselves to be a tough team to play against, and the winner of the other divisional-round match between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs will be in for a tough ride.
The same thing goes for the Titans, though. These two teams have outstanding young quarterbacks who can put on the hurt if they're not careful. Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 4054 passing yards and 26 touchdowns, and the Chiefs have the offensive ingenuity that they have as well. Meanwhile, the Texans have Deshaun Watson who has 3,852 passing yards and 26 TDs to his name as well. They are also itching to avenge themselves of the Week 17 loss they went through if they make it past the Chiefs.
Either way, the Titans are in for another rough game. However, the team wouldn't want it any other way.
