AFC South Week 11 Power Rankings: Texans hot on the Jaguars heels

The Jacksonville Jaguars had a chance to solidify their spot as one of the top teams in the NFL by beating the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10. However, they couldn't seize the opportunity and came crashing down. That said, they can't dwell too much on the loss, as they need to focus on beating the Tenessee Titans if they don't want the Houston Texans to catch up with them.

While the Jags still remain in first place in the AFC South, the Texans are one win away from displacing them as the division leader. Then again, maybe that's the kind of wake up call Jacksonville needed to play up to their potential. With that in mind, here's a power ranking of the division heading into Week 11.

Week 11 AFC South Power Rankings team No. 4: The Tennessee Titans (3-6)

The Tennessee Titans have become something of an afterthought this season, and it's easy to see why. Even though they gave the reins of the offense to rookie Will Levis, Tennessee is probably one or two seasons away from contending. They need upgrades at pretty much every skill-position group while the offensive line could also use a boost. On the other hand, their defensive front is still stacked up with a lot of talent, something that doesn't bode well for the Jaguars.

Trevor Lawrence hasn't gotten optimal protection this year. That's forced him to get rid of the ball before he can go through all his progressions, and in turn, has prevented him and the offense from taking deep shots as often as they would like. The Titans know this and will try to take away their quick throws. If they do, Sunday could turn out to be a long day for the Jaguars.
