Winner: Logan Ryan, Malcolm Butler and Kevin Byard, DB

This should just be a group effort award for the DBs on the field for the Tennessee Titans. However, these three stood out even above the likes of Kenny Vaccaro, Adoree Jackson and Amani Hooker.

Ryan, Butler and Byard combined for:

-3 interceptions

-1 touchdown

-1.5 sacks

-12 tackles

I mean my goodness, what more can you ask from two of your starting cornerbacks and the best safety in the NFL?

Against the Cleveland Browns deadly trio of Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, the Titans DBs were supposed to get embarrassed. When I say that no one was giving the Titans a chance to win, that isn’t hyperbole for sites like PFF (check out that whole thread BTW):

However, thanks in large part to the pure dominance of that group on defense the Cleveland Browns hopes evaporated right in front of our eyes.
