The Tennessee Titans (10-7), who finished second in the NFC South, head north to Baltimore to face the AFC North champion Ravens (14-2). Baltimore leads the all-time series 12-11, including a 21-0 shutout last season in Nashville. This will be the fourth playoff meeting between the two teams and third in the divisional game. The Ravens lost to the Chargers 23-17 in last year’s wild card game and still have that sour taste in their mouth. Can they get over the hump or will the Titans play spoiler for the second straight week?

The Titans had a daunting task of heading to Foxborough to take on the Patriots right out of the gate last weekend. For the fifth time in his career, quarterback Ryan Tannehill found a way to beat the Patriots, this time 20-13. He completed 8 of 15 passes for 72 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The story of the game though was Derrick Henry, who went on a rampage. Henry, who led the league in rushing with 1,540 yards in the regular season, totaled 34 carries for 182 yards and one touchdown against a Patriots defense that was praised all season long. It’s no secret if the Titans want to win against the Ravens they need to feed the ball to Henry.
The Titans deserve credit defensively as well. Tom Brady was held to just 209 yards passing and failed to find the end zone. The Patriots run game was also limited to under 100 yards. Linebacker Rashaan Evans notched 10 tackles and is one of three players on this defense with over 100 tackles on the season, joining Jayon Brown and Logan Ryan. Ryan recorded four tackles, as well as a pick-six that sealed the win against his former team.
While the Titans were battling it out in Foxborough, the Baltimore Ravens had a bye after winning the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Ravens success all starts with their offense, ranked second behind the Cowboys with an average of 407.6 PG, 206 of those coming on the ground. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is the frontrunner for MVP honors with 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns rushing and 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns through the air. Needless to say, he can beat you in a multitude of ways and the Titans defense must hone in on him. Mark Ingram felt tightness in his calf during the bye week and sat out of practice early this week. Ingram has 1,018 yards and 10 touchdowns this season and is a major part of the Ravens offense. Defensively, the Ravens ranked fourth in the regular season in total defense with opponents averaging 300.6 YPG and were fifth against the run (93.4 YPG).
