Heading into their bye week, the Tennessee Titans will have a chance to get healthy and regroup while trying to build upon the momentum from their 31-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
During that game, Titans pass rusher Harold Landry III notched his fourth sack in 2024 and moved into sole possession of third place on the Titans’ All-Time sack list with 45.5 sacks in his career. He is also only seven sacks away from overtaking Jevon Kearse for the top spot in team history.
Landry has developed into one of the top pass rushers in the league, and his stats quietly place him in elite company.

He is tied with former Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt with 10 quarterback pressures. What makes this even more impressive is that he has done this with 27 fewer pass rush snaps.
He is also doing this without tremendous help from the other edge players. Arden Key has been inconsistent and has yet to make an impact in 2024, and rookie Jaylen Harrell is still working his way into the system.
Landry appears healthy and is playing like the dynamic edge that the team envisioned when selecting him in the second round of the NFL draft 2018. If he continues on this trajectory, he will likely finish 2024 with a second Pro Bowl invitation and the All-Time Titans sack record in hand.
