Titans are NFL's top team at preventing big plays
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Take away the run and make them one-dimensional.
It’s a long-standing and popular defensive philosophy. If a team can make it happen, pass rushers are free to go after the quarterback on largely predictable pass plays.
A statistical skew is not uncommon: Teams that are really good in run defense might not look good numerically in pass defense, or vice versa. Some defenses can, in effect, force more yardage into one category.
Currently the Titans rank third in rush defense, but 25th against the pass.
Still there are some really good signs about the Titans’ pass defense as compared to the seven around the league that rank worse.
