The Tennessee Titans dismantled the Houston Texans on Sunday. Outside of a garbage-time touchdown drive, the Titans defense made the Texans look like a college team.
This is no surprise considering how locked-in the defense has been in recent weeks. One of the biggest reasons the Titans’ defense has been able to play at such a high level is the continued development of Kristian Fulton.
Fulton has gone from good to great so far this season and he closes off one side of the field when he is playing his best. We saw that on Sunday in H-Town.
Fulton’s stats look incredible. He allowed only one catch despite being targeted seven times. The one catch he allowed went for NEGATIVE yardage.
He seemed to know exactly what was coming, whether that be dropping perfectly into his zone to take away a red-zone touchdown chance or basically running the receiver’s route in man coverage.
Fulton was on his “A” game.
Looking at the numbers from recent weeks and you can see this isn’t a one-time showing, either.
Over the past three weeks, Fulton has been thrown at 17 times and given up only six catches for 38 yards and zero touchdowns while also snagging an interception and giving up a passer rating of 19.5 overall.
He truly is blossoming into a lockdown corner. What we saw on Sunday in Houston has to be replicated over the next few weeks as the Titans take on tougher teams, but it was a performance that has to have you excited about what Fulton may be doing by the end of the year!
With that being said, let’s step into the film room and see how he did it.
