In Memphis, Tennessee had some of the smallest NFL crowds since the 1950s attended games. In the first seven games of the season, there were crowds of less than 27,000, and two games drew less than 18,000 people. For the 1998 season, the Tennessee Oilers played their home games at the stadium on the campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. That year, the team was in playoff contention until losing their last two games for another 8β8 record. The Tennessee Oilers were 6β2 in Nashville and 2β6 on the road.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1998 Tennessee Oilers Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/oti/1998.htm |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref> ===Tennessee Titans=== During the 1998 offseason, Adams appointed an advisory committee to decide on a new name for the Tennessee Oilers to coincide with the opening of their new stadium, which was renamed [[Nissan Stadium]] in 2015.<ref name="i839">{{cite web | last=Wyatt | first=Jim | title=Titans' stadium LP Field to be renamed Nissan Stadium | website=The Tennessean | date=2015-06-24 | url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2015/06/24/tennessee-titans-nissan-lp-field/29229831/ | access-date=2024-08-05}}</ref> On November 14, 1998, the new name of Tennessee Titans was unveiled. The name is a nod to how Nashville is nicknamed the "Athens of the South" for its classical architecture and large number of higher learning institutions. The 1999 season marked a remarkable beginning for the Titans, as they made a dramatic run to Super Bowl XXXIV. Led by head coach Jeff Fisher and quarterback Steve McNair, the team finished the regular season with a 13β3 record.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1999 Tennessee Titans Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/oti/1999.htm |access-date=2024-07-30 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref> Their playoff journey included the famous "Music City Miracle" victory over the Buffalo Bills, where a last-second lateral play resulted in a kickoff return touchdown.<ref name="s788">{{cite web | last1=Bacharach | first1=Erik | last2=Maiorana | first2=Sal | title=Music City Miracle oral history: Tennessee Titans most memorable NFL play | website=The Tennessean | date=2020-01-08 | url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2020/01/08/music-city-miracle-oral-history-titans-bills-anniversary/2798498001/ | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> The Titans reached the Super Bowl but narrowly lost to the St. Louis Rams, falling one yard short of a potential game-tying touchdown.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Freeman |first=Mike |date=2000-01-31 |title=SUPERBOWL XXXIV; Rams Win Super Bowl Thriller, as Titans Fall a Yard Short |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/31/sports/superbowl-xxxiv-rams-win-super-bowl-thriller-as-titans-fall-a-yard-short.html |access-date=2024-07-30 |website=The New York Times |language=en-US}}</ref> In the years following their Super Bowl appearance, the Tennessee Titans experienced mixed success. They reached the playoffs several times in the early 2000s, with standout performances from players like running back Eddie George and defensive end Jevon Kearse. However, the team struggled with consistency and faced multiple rebuilding phases. Following the departures of George and McNair in 2003 and 2005, respectively, the Titans drafted quarterback [[Vince Young]] in 2006, who led the team to a playoff berth in 2007.<ref name="y605">{{cite web | title=Vince Young selected third overall by Titans in 2006 NFL Draft | website=University of Texas Athletics | date=2006-04-29 | url=https://texaslonghorns.com/news/2006/4/29/042906aaf_572.aspx | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> Despite being named [[Offensive Rookie of the Year]] in 2006 and being a two-time Pro Bowl selection, Young's tenure was marred by injuries, inconsistency and clashes with Jeff Fisher.

The 2009 season was also notable as it was the season in which second-year running back [[Chris Johnson (running back)|Chris Johnson]] became the sixth player to run for more than 2,000 yards in a season and broke [[Marshall Faulk]]'s record for most single season yards from scrimmage.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-01-03 |title=Johnson sixth to rush for 2,000 yards |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=4793132 |access-date=2024-07-30 |website=ESPN.com|agency=Associated Press |language=en}}</ref><ref name="l493">{{cite web | last=Hudson | first=Ryan | title=Chris Johnson Becomes Sixth Player To Rush For 2,000 Yards | website=SBNation.com | date=2010-01-03 | url=https://www.sbnation.com/2010/1/3/1232280/chris-johnson-video-2000-yards-scrimmage-record | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> Johnson made three Pro Bowl appearances with the Titans before departing after the 2013 season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chris Johnson Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Draft, College |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JohnCh04.htm |access-date=2024-07-30 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref> Following the 2010 season, Young, Collins and Fisher all departed, and quarterback [[Jake Locker]] was drafted in 2011.<ref name="p183">{{cite web | last=Bell | first=Gregg | title=He's Now 'Nashville Jake': Locker Drafted 8th Overall By The Titans | website=Washington Huskies | date=2011-04-28 | url=https://gohuskies.com/sports/2011/4/28/208026205 | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> After spending his rookie season as a backup, Locker's career as a starter beginning in 2012 was marked by inconsistent play and numerous injuries, which led to his retirement shortly after departing from the team after the 2014 season after a four-year career.<ref name="y456">{{cite web | last=Patra | first=Kevin | title=Jake Locker announces retirement from NFL | website=NFL.com | date=2015-03-10 | url=https://www.nfl.com/news/jake-locker-announces-retirement-from-nfl-0ap3000000477807 | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> After posting a league-worst 2β14 record during the 2014 season, their worst since moving to Tennessee, the Titans drafted quarterback [[Marcus Mariota]] in the 2015 NFL Draft with the second overall pick, who became the Titans' franchise quarterback for the next four seasons.<ref name="h680">{{cite web | last=Kuharsky | first=Paul | title=Titans pick Marcus Mariota at No. 2, plan to make QB Day 1 starter | website=ESPN.com | date=2015-05-01 | url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2015/story/_/id/12795757/tennessee-titans-select-marcus-mariota-no-2-overall-pick | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> Although the Titans finished with another league worst record of 3β13 during the 2015 season, Mariota along with multi-Pro Bowl teammates such as tight end [[Delanie Walker]], offensive tackle [[Taylor Lewan]] and defensive tackle/defensive end [[Jurrell Casey]], led the Titans to three consecutive winning records of 9β7 from 2016 to 2018. During the 2017 season, the Titans returned to the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 and won their first playoff game since 2003, overcoming a 21β3 halftime deficit against the [[Kansas City Chiefs]] to win 22β21 before being eliminated in the divisional round.<ref name="q631">{{cite web | last=Skretta | first=Dave | title=Titans rally from 21-3 hole, beat Chiefs 22-21 in playoffs | website=AP News | date=2018-01-07 | url=https://apnews.com/article/san-francisco-49ers-tennessee-titans-kansas-city-chiefs-nfl-sports-1019ab6588a143d285edbf50d61c0763 | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> The Titans saw their season end in the Divisional Round with a 35β14 loss to the New England Patriots.<ref name="t364">{{cite web | last=Hightower | first=Kyle | title=Patriots back in AFC title game, Titans trip into offseason | website=AP News | date=2018-01-14 | url=https://apnews.com/patriots-back-in-afc-title-game-titans-trip-into-offseason-d997dd31ba9449bda2cf5c6a6fd2d0f6 | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> Despite their postseason success in the 2017 season, the Titans moved on from head coach Mike Mularkey.<ref name="u487">{{cite web | last=Walker | first=Teresa M. | title=Titans fire coach Mike Mularkey after playoff win | website=AP News | date=2018-01-16 | url=https://apnews.com/titans-fire-coach-mike-mularkey-after-playoff-win-6014e860d5ad458899ab98b55d875815 | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> The Tennessee Titans entered a new era in the late 2010s with the hiring of head coach [[Mike Vrabel]] in 2018.<ref name="a416">{{cite web | last=Wolfe | first=Cameron | title=Mike Vrabel agrees to become new head coach of Titans | website=ESPN.com | date=2018-01-20 | url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22162638/mike-vrabel-hired-tennessee-titans-new-head-coach | access-date=2024-07-30}}</ref> Prominent players drafted during the 2019 season included defensive end [[Jeffery Simmons]] and wide receiver [[A.
