The Titans will be playing for more than just a chance to advance in the playoffs today in Kansas City.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapport, the Titans could also be playing for their head coach’s job:
The #Titans are in the playoffs, but coach Mike Mularkey’s job is not safe. Sources say a loss could end his tenure, as the team prepares for a run at #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels. Big game today with multiple ramifications.

Mike Mularkey joined the Titans in 2015 when he replaced Ken Whisenhunt as the team’s head coach in the middle of the season. The Titans went 2-7 in their remaining nine games, but followed that up with back-to-back 9-7 seasons, including the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2008 this season.
But the Titans front office has gotten impatience with the lack of development from quarterback Marcus Mariota and feel like a change in coaching could help their franchise guy.
The team is expected to make a run at New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who has ties to current Titans GM Jon Robinson.
