NFL Power Rankings: Tennessee Titans and the 4 Most Enigmatic Teams

Zach KruseOct 10, 2011

The definition of enigmatic: difficult to interpret or understand; mysterious. The definition of enigmatic football teams?

I'll answer that question with these five in the NFL's Week 6 power rankings:

Tennessee Titans

You knew the Titans were in for a tall task against a wounded but dangerous Steelers team on the road, but Tennessee was taken down in surprisingly easy fashion in Pittsburgh. The Titans are still struggling to get Chris Johnson going, which ultimately, is going to make or break their season. With no Kenny Britt, they need Johnson to pick up the slack offensively.  

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are still a hurting football team, but it was clear that they used some of that negative talk about their demise as motivation against the Titans. They came out firing on both sides of the ball and looked more like the Steelers of old. But they still have issues on the offensive line, and good teams will be able to expose some of their obvious weaknesses.  

New York Giants

Is there a more frustratingly inconsistent football team that the New York Giants? First, they lose to the Redskins to open the season, only to run off three straight wins to get to 3-1. Then the Seahawks travel all the way to New York and upset the heavily favored Giants. Just like in year's past, these Giants are going to be the hardest team in the NFL to figure out.  

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Following up emotional wins against the Falcons and Colts with a long trip to the West Coast was never going to be easy, but there's never an excuse for losing a football game 48-3. That's just embarrassing and can shatter locker room morale. The Bucs are only a game back in the NFC South, so they need to recover in a hurry. But losing a game like that can alter the direction of a season.
