Tennessee was leading the division (the number 2 seed in the AFC) at 5-2 they went on to lose7 games straight finishing 7-10 and miss the playoffs.
Indianapolis was 3-4-1 in 2nd place in the division and went on to finish 4-12
Jaguars were 2-6 in 3rd place in the division going on a run and winning the division at 9-8
Houston was 1-5-1 the 4th place in the division and went on to draft #1

Tennessee's downfall was primarily injuries to their OL.
One game at a time and fingers crossed the injury bug stays away...

I think the schedule was the primary reason.  The Titans had a schedule with almost all of their easy games early and almost all of their tough games late.  Those 5 early wins included games against Houston (3-13), two against Indianapolis (4-12) and one against Denver (5-12).  The Titans did a great job of beating easy teams but never won against a team with a winning record all season.  Six of their final seven games were against playoff teams.
