Quick pressure produced eight sacks for Titans in Indy
INDIANAPOLIS – The Titans found a quarterback who was willing to hold the ball.
And all their pent-up feelings and frustrations over what they feel has been a largely close-but-no-cigar pass rush got heaped on Jacoby Brissett.
Eight times – the most ever in a game for the Titans in their 18 years of existence.
DaQuan Jones awoke with two sacks, while Brian Orakpo has one and a half. Avery Williamson, Wesley Woodyard, Derrick Morgan and Erik Walden got one apiece, while Jayon Brown got half a sack.
“I didn’t even know until we got in (the locker room) that I had one'” Williamson said. “Indy was handing them out, so we took advantage of it. We did a good job blitzing, and just I feel like we did a good job of helping our coverage and taking advantage. We got the job done - the fact that we were able to get him down. It was huge. We haven’t been getting the sacks like we thought we would, but they came in bunches.”
Per @PFF: #Titans' 19 pressures came on just 38 passing plays. 15 of the 19 pressures were “quick” pressures, meaning those pressures were recorded in 2.5 seconds or less. The average time to pressure was 2.40 seconds.
