The Tennessee Titans (1-2) and New England Patriots (3-0) are the first two NFL teams to return from their byes in Week 5, and neither one of them have performed particularly well following the break in recent years.
For the Titans, their 1-4 mark both straight up and against the spread in their past five games after a bye is not shocking.
After all, Tennessee is coming off a brutal 2-14 campaign in 2014 and has not enjoyed a winning season since 2011. The Titans already have half as many wins this year through the first three games and nearly upset the Indianapolis Colts before their bye.
