NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans’ defensive woes are plentiful, but the headliner is clear: a third-down defense that is alarmingly bad.
Through six games the Titans are allowing opponents to convert at a 47.7 percent rate, worst in the NFL. On third-and-7 or more it’s 53.8 percent and on third-and-11 or more it’s also 58.8 percent. (Thanks to Johnathan Hutton for those precise breakdowns.)
