Tennessee Titans:

Say what you like about the Tennessee Titans, they are consistent. They finished the 2019 season 9-7, marking four seasons in a row with that record. This time it was enough to earn them the No. 6 seed in the AFC in their second postseason berth since 2008.

Offense:

The Titans boasted the NFL leading rusher in Derrick Henry in 2019 and finished 3rd overall in rushing yards. Their total offensive production amounted to the 12th most yards and 10th most points. But things got a whole lot more impressive after they made the mid-season switch to Ryan Tannehill. Under the former Miami Dolphins quarterback, the Titans averaged 2.44 points per drive and 29.9 points per game. With Marcus Mariota under center, these figures had been 1.6 and 19. One thing that remained consistent whoever the quarterback, however, was an inability to protect him. The Titans allowed 56 sacks, the 3rd most in the NFL, at a league-leading rate of 11.1%.

Defense:

Defensively, the Titans were adequate at best. They allowed the 12th most points whilst surrendering the 21st most yards. The Titans were stouter against the run than the pass, giving up the 9th most passing yards but only the 12th most yards on the ground. Despite 73 quarterback hurries (a figure good for 7th most in the NFL), the Titans finished only 14th in sacks. Perhaps they could have leaned more on the blitz, which they used on only 24.8% of their plays — which ranked 21st in the league
