While a lot has gone wrong for the Tennessee Titans this season, the team’s group of edge rushers hasn’t been among the negatives.
The Titans’ trio of Arden Key (6.0), Denico Autry (11.5) and Harold Landry (10.5) have combined for 28 of the team’s 45 sacks this season, which is tied for the 10th-most in the NFL going into Week 18.
Taking it a step further, the Titans are the only team in the league to sport a pair of pass-rushers (Autry and Landry) with double-digit sacks entering the final week of the campaign.
Autry’s total is a new career-high for him, and this is the second double-digit sack campaign of Landry’s career and he’s 1.5 shy of his single-season best. Key sits just a half of a sack shy of his career-best mark.
After a slow start to the season upon his return from a torn ACL suffered last year, Landry has really picked it up over the last five games and has looked like his old self, tallying 5.5 sacks in that span.
Crazy stat from Mike Keith on @TitansRadio – with that Landry sack, the #Titans are now the only team in the NFL with two players on double digit sacks.

Autry has been sensational in each of his three campaigns since being signed as a free agent in 2021. Key hasn’t been as much of a standout as Landry and Autry, but he’s no doubt made an impact in his first season in Tennessee.
Landry and Key are under contract for 2024, but Autry is set to hit the free-agent market in a matter of months. The Titans should be very interested in bringing Autry back to keep this trio together.
