27.) Tennessee Titans (1-2)
The Tennessee Titans were very close to defeating the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 and get over .500. After a late drive by the offense, the Titans were unable to convert on a two-point conversion which would have tied the game.
In Week 3, the Titans struggled to run the ball against the Colts, as they totaled just 88 rushing yards on 27 attempts. Mariota had a good game, as he totaled 367 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. The only downside to Mariota’s game in Week 3 was the two interceptions he threw.
26.) Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2)
One week after shocking the Miami Dolphins, the Jacksonville Jaguars ran into the defending champs. It was a particularly bad game for the Jaguars’ defense, as they allowed four rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns.
The Jaguars struggled to run the ball as a team, as they totaled 57 rushing yards as a team. The Jaguars were big underdogs against the Patriots, and they certainly looked like a team that didn’t belong against the Patriots.
25.) Cleveland Browns (1-2)
Josh McCown made his return from a concussion in Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders, but it wasn’t enough to get the team a second win. In Week 3, McCown totaled 341 passing yards with two passing touchdowns. The Johnny Manziel days of starting seem to be over despite him getting a win in Week 2.
The Browns struggled to run the ball or stop the run, which isn’t a recipe for winning games if you are the Browns.
