While the injury to Derrick Henry remained a hot topic of conversation this week, the New Orleans Saints also had plenty to say about the Tennessee Titans’ emerging defense, which has played like an elite group in recent weeks.
For head coach Sean Payton, the things that stick out the most about the Titans’ defense has been its ability to get after the quarterback and force turnovers.
“They way they’ve rushed the quarterback, the last five weeks they’ve caused more turnovers than any team in football,” Payton said. “They’re punching it out, they’re getting to the quarterback, not only the ends, but the interior are doing a great job. They’re playing with a lot of confidence. You see it on film.”
Among other topics discussed other than the defense included the Titans’ offense without Henry, the return of Adrian Peterson, the presence of A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, and more.
