Only one quarterback in the NFL had a better completion rate inside the 10-yard line than Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill did during the 2022 campaign.
One would assume that means the Titans had a fair amount of offensive success when it comes to scoring points, but we know the reality is Tennessee sported one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
The problem lied in the fact that Tennessee couldn’t actually get the ball that far down the field.
When the Titans were able to, not only did Tannehill complete passes at a 64-percent clip, the second-best in the NFL, the Titans also crossed the goal line 64.29 percent of the time, the sixth-best mark, per Team Rankings.

63% – Dak Prescott
62% – Jimmy Garoppolo
60% – Patrick Mahomes
59% – Jared Goff
56% – Trevor Lawrence
55% – Justin Herbert
55% – Marcus Mariota
53% – Aaron Rodgers
53% – Kirk Cousins
52% – Mac Jones…— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) June 29, 2023
Further showing the Titans ineptitude in terms of getting in position to score touchdowns, the Titans averaged just 2.5 red-zone attempts per game last season, the second-worst amount in the NFL.
Not that it needs to be said, but this cannot continue in 2023 if the Titans are going to rebound and take back the division.
