The 2016 season was the Tennessee Titans franchise's 47th in the National Football League and their 57th overall. It also marked the franchise's 20th season in the state of Tennessee as well as the first full season under head coach Mike Mularkey , who served as the team's interim head coach for the last nine games of the 2015 season.
The Titans tripled their win total from 2015 and achieved their first winning season since 2011 . However, the team missed the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season, the fifth longest current streak in the NFL—the Titans finished tied with the Houston Texans for the AFC South division title, but lost the tiebreaker due to record against divisional opponents (Texans 5–1 to the Titans' 2–4).
