The Titans were largely counted out as they took on the historically dominant New England Patriots last week.
But it was Tennessee that advanced to the next round of the postseason, coming out with the 20-13 win in Gillette Stadium.
A couple of players in particular stood out when Pro Football Focus released their overall grades for each player from the contest.
Left tackle Taylor Lewan was Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded player on the Tennessee offense (87.0).

On his sixth season with the team, Lewan has played in and started 12 games on the 2019 season. He started the year with a reputation of causing the team costly penalties, but has delivered strong performances as of late, which was clearly shown against New England.
Cornerback Tramaine Brock was the network’s highest-graded player on the defensive side of the ball (79.3).
