The 2019 season was the Tennessee Titans' 50th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 60th overall. It marks the franchise's 23rd season in the state of Tennessee, their 22nd in Nashville and their second full season under head coach Mike Vrabel. Despite a 2–4 start resulting in the benching of quarterback Marcus Mariota, the Titans turned their season around with ex-Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who transformed the offense, previously one of the worst in the league, into one of its best and led the Titans to a strong 7–3 finish, causing them to match their 9–7 record for the fourth straight year and return to the postseason after a one-year absence.
Riding the rushing champion Derrick Henry into the playoffs, the Titans defeated the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in the Wild Card Round by a score of 20–13, advancing them to the Divisional Round. The Titans then upset the heavily favored top-seeded Baltimore Ravens 28–12, advancing to their first AFC Championship Game since 2002, and becoming the first team since the 2010 New York Jets advance to the conference championship game after winning two away playoff games. However, the Titans fell to the eventual Super Bowl LIV champion Kansas City Chiefs 35–24 in the AFC Championship Game.
