Other Numberfire stats of interest:
-The Tennessee Titans had some fluke plays against them against the Cleveland Browns, but they still believe that the team is the 8th best defense in the league. This is in large part thanks to a balanced, well-coached defense instead of standing out in one particular area.
-Offensively the Tennessee Titans fall just out of the top 10 at number 12. The Titans have the 8th best passing attack despite all the issues in pass protection. Sunday will definitely help prove one way or another how accurate that is as the Titans face off against the 26th ranked defense vs the pass.
