Winner: Defensive tackle depth

Behind Jurrell Casey, the Titans have some real talent on the defensive line. Well, I say “behind” Casey, but really I should say “next to” Casey because of the different looks the defenses uses.

Daquan Jones is having a great season and his power seems to be much better this year after fully recovering from that biceps injury in 2017. Isaiah Mack reminded everyone why they liked him early in the season with a fumble recovery yesterday.

However, this list obviously needs to include Jeffery Simmons who had another really nice day yesterday. While it was never going to be as good as the week before unless Simmons was headed for an All-Pro year, the fact that Simmons held his own despite getting considerably more attention this game was impressive.

Overall, the Titans are set at that position with all four of those guys under contract beyond this season and have a pillar of strength up the middle at DL, LB and safety.
