The Tennessee Titans have an incredibly straightforward regular-season schedule in 2024. The Titans only have one primetime game, a Monday night contest versus the Miami Dolphins in Week 4.
Titans fortunate to avoid this concerning 2024 NFL schedule trend
A deep dive into the Titans’ 2024 schedule reveals several advantages
A total of 14 of Tennessee’s 16 announced start times are scheduled for 12 p.m. C.T. (with one mid-afternoon game, the aforementioned Monday nighter, and a Week 18 date with the Houston Texans to be announced).
A deeper dive done by ProFootballTalk into the complete 2024 NFL schedule reveals the Titans were fortunate enough to avoid one particularly concerning trend. A total of 10 organizations will play three contests merely 10 days apart. The Titans do not appear on that list. From 2019 to 2023, zero franchises performed under such circumstances. Nearly one third of the league will play under those less-than-ideal conditions in 2024.
A Monday-to-Sunday-to-Thursday slate will occur for six teams. Four others will play Sunday-Saturday-Wednesday due to the Christmas scheduling. It’s a lot to ask given the physical nature of the sport.
The Titans come nowhere near meeting such conditions given their one primetime game. In fact, the Titans won’t play a single contest on a short week’s rest considering the Week 5 bye succeeds the Monday night showdown versus the Dolphins. The Titans possess a plus-six day rest advantage over their 2024 opponents, which ranks seventh in the league according to Warren Sharp. First-year head coach Brian Callahan couldn’t have requested an easier schedule to navigate.
