In what is a telling stat of just how much the Tennessee Titans have struggled on the offensive side of the ball in recent years, the team currently has the longest active streak of not scoring 30 points in a game.
As Ian Hartitz of Fantasy Life recently pointed out, the Titans have not scored 30 points in 36 straight contests, which is more than two season’s worth of games.
The next closest team is the New England Patriots, who haven’t scored that many points in 28 straight games. The top five is rounded out by the Atlanta Falcons (17), Denver Broncos (13) and, believe it or not, the Kansas City Chiefs (10).
Longest active streaks without scoring 30+ points in a game:
1. Titans (36)
2. Patriots (28)
3. Falcons (17)
4. Broncos (13)
5. Chiefs (10)— Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) March 27, 2024
The last time the Titans scored 30 points in a game came all the way back in 2021, when they beat the Miami Dolphins 34-3 in Week 17 of that season.
The Titans’ offense has been a far cry from where it was in 2019 and 2020, when Tennessee sported one of the better offenses in the NFL in that span.
Over the course of those two seasons, the Titans tallied 30 points or more 16 times, including six in 2019 and 10 in 2020. And, during the aforementioned 2021 campaign, the Titans scored 30 points or more five times.
Terrible play-calling and offensive line play and a lack of talent overall have been the biggest factors in Tennessee’s struggles on offense the past two years.
But there is hope for 2024, as the Titans have a promising young signal-caller in Will Levis and a new head coach in Brian Callahan, who is expected to bring a more modern, pass-heavy approach to the offense.
Adding to that, general manager Ran Carthon has done a good job trying to beef up the unit around Levis, although there is still more work to be done, especially at left tackle.
