Английская Википедия:2015 Tennessee Titans season
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NFL team season The Шаблон:Nfly Tennessee Titans season was the franchise's 46th season in the National Football League, the 56th overall and the 19th in the state of Tennessee. Second-year head coach Ken Whisenhunt was fired on November 3 following a 1–6 start, and was replaced by tight ends coach Mike Mularkey on an interim basis. Despite slightly improving from their 2–14 season from the previous year, finishing with a 3–13 record (tied with the Cleveland Browns), they finished with a lower Strength of Schedule, thus earning the right to the top pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, later trading it to the Los Angeles Rams.
Until 2022, this was the last time the Titans had a losing season. Шаблон:TOC limit
