Offensive line: B
This one is tough because there were times where there was miscommunication and there was only one or two plays where it looked like the unit dominated a mediocre Dolphins DL. However, you have to give the depth on this team a lot of credit.
After the dirty hit from Andre Branch (a player who I am sure no one knew before this with sack totals that look like a middling DT) on Taylor Lewan, the Titans ended up with only 3 starters at the end of the game.
Dennis Kelly and Kevin Pamphile manned the tackles well and the trio held all the Dolphins EDGEs to 0 sacks despite all their hype.
The interior of this line is good enough to win a lot of matchups and once Conklin and Lewan are back full time I think this unit will be the strength of the team again.
