Bucs' pass rush further evidence of how far Titans are from Super Bowl title
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the better part of 20 years, fans of the Titans would watch games around the league, see receivers make fantastic catches, and rightfully ask, those are allowed?
Sure, a Tennessee wideout occasionally made a highlight-reel grab. See Nate Washington’s wraparound against Detroit in 2012.
But for the most part, the team’s struggles to find talent at the position and an uninventive passing game meant a low-percentage of feature moments.
In the last couple of seasons, the team has found guys who make aggressive, impressive catches, taking the ball away from defenders and running away from them, solving the issue.
The issue that's been growing into the franchise's major one instead is the lack of a pass rush.
