Overall — Titans’ offense vs. Ravens’ defense:
The Titans have playmakers, this cannot be denied. But to get the best out of them, Tennessee’s defense has to meet them halfway and shut down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense. If they’re not able to do this — and let’s face it no one has so far — then the Titans will be forced to lean on the arm of Tannehill. They’ve didn’t have to do this in the regular season, so we have no real evidence that this is a successful strategy.
Baltimore’s passing defense is one of the most smothering units in the entire NFL. While they could conceivably be had on the ground, the Titans’ defense may do a better job of keeping Henry out of the game than the Ravens could simply by letting the score get out of hand early.
The Titans have enjoyed a fairytale end to the season, but they just don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with the most prolific rushing attack in NFL history.
