While there is still some work to do, the Tennessee Titans did see a slight improvement in their pass-rush in 2019.
After totaling 39 sacks as a team in 2018, Tennessee notched 43 last season. Outside linebacker Harold Landry was the team leader with nine in what was a breakout campaign for the Boston College product.
This offseason, general manager Jon Robinson will once again be tasked with adding an impact pass-rusher, either through free agency, the draft, or both.
Let’s take a look at the top five sacks for the Titans in 2019 via a video montage released by the team.

There’s no question that the sack defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons got on Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was huge given that it was his debut, but the biggest sack of the 2019 season should go to fellow defensive lineman, Jurrell Casey.
The strip sack came in one of the biggest games of the 2019 season — the Divisional Round contest against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens — and forced a turnover to help Tennessee secure a trip to the AFC Championship Game.
Casey totaled two of his 2.5 playoff sacks against the Ravens.
