Offensive Line: B-

For the most part, the Titans’ offensive line held up well, even despite losing starters Nate Davis (ribs) and Jack Conklin (thigh) to injuries.

Taylor Lewan finally went a game without causing a penalty, a point he was sure to let everyone know about on Twitter.

Jamil Douglas, filling in for Davis, was getting worked over by Joey Bosa early in the third quarter.

He would bounce back and deliver a key block that sprung a good run by Derrick Henry later in the game.

Outside of the two sacks by Bosa, the Titans kept Tannehill upright for the most part, though Tannehill was still hit five other times, three of which were courtesy of Bosa.

The offensive line overall still needs some work, and if Conklin and Davis are out for an extended period of time, that could be tougher, but all in all, this unit took a step in the right direction in this game.
