Titans’ biggest surprises from 2020 season: Defense

It wasn’t all bad for the Titans’ defense in 2020, but the negative far outweighed the positive.

When you talk about the biggest weakness for the Tennessee Titans from this past season, the defense is the choice by far.

Tennessee finished No. 29 against the pass, No. 19 against the run, No. 30 in sacks and No. 24 in points allowed. Injuries certainly played a role in those horrid numbers, but we also saw disappointing performances from several key players at different position groups.

There were a few bright spots here and there, but the negative far outweighed the positive, and if not for the historic performance from Tennessee’s offense, the regular season could have gone much differently.

Here’s a look at the biggest surprises (both good and bad) from the Titans’ defense during the 2020 campaign.
