The Titans are truly a mixed bag of a team. This year they have been one of the elite defenses in the NFL. It's hard to find a defensive area they have been bad in.
They do give up a nice chunk of rushing yards per game but their rushing yard average surrendered isn't high. It looks more like teams run on them cause they are either scared to pass or cause the games are close and they are trying to control the clock more than it happens to be super effective.
The key rushing stat to me is they have surrendered only 3 rushing TDs. That means when they want to stop your running the ball they can. They stop the pass pretty effectively too. Be it yards or defensive passer rating they aren't shabby and have done well. A key stat here is they have only allowed 9 TDs in the air.
So if there D is so good why aren't they better? Their offense is garbage. If it wasn't for the Bills hogging the all the bad offensive headlines this would get more attention.
They run a lot but not very well and do it to cover for their piss poor passing attack. Outside of the talented but young Corey Davis no one is that concerning. Yes they can dump it off to Lewis for a few easy yards but that won't kill you. When Mariota is in the pocket you are more worried about him as a runner than a passer.
