The Tennessee Titans offense has been efficient since Ryan Tannehill took the reins from Marcus Mariota in Week 6’s shutout loss to the Denver Broncos.
Tannehill has posted a 3-1 overall record as a starter for the Titans, as the team has put together 105 points in its past four contests.
The quarterback is 97-of-136 passing for 1,161 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions for a rating of 104.4.
He’s completed 71.3% of his passes in 2019, which ranks third in the league among all passers with at least 90 attempts.

With this, the former Miami Dolphins signal-caller trails only New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (75.4) and the Oakland Raiders’ Derek Carr (72.3).
QB @ryantannehill1 has completed 71.3 % of his passes this season for @Titans, which rates 3rd in the NFL among passers with at least 90 attempts.
The only QBs with a higher percentage are Drew Brees of @Saints (75.4) and Derek Carr of @Raiders (72.3).

Tannehill’s inconsistencies in the past when he was in Miami make it kind of difficult to trust his ability to perform at a high level and lead the team in the long-term, but it’s clear to see he’s off to a strong start.
Neither Tannehill not Mariota is under contract for the next season, and it’s safe to say the writing is on the wall for the latter at this point.

It will be interesting to see if the Titans make quarterback a priority in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, with names like Tua Tagovailoa, Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, Justin Herbert and others presenting solid options for the future.
Tannehill and the Titans will face the Jaguars at 3:05 p.m. CT on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
