The Tennessee Titans defeated the Green Bay Packers on what might have been the most entertaining game of the season so far.
The Titans’ offense was the star of the show. Although the run game was stagnant, the passing offense caught fire. Titans OC Todd Downing put together drive after drive, effectively countering the Packers’ coverage.
On defense, the Titans’ pass-rush wasn’t the beast it typically is, but the coverage confused Rodgers and got stops when necessary.
Every Tuesday I do a lengthy film breakdown on Twitter that looks at several different plays and players from the Titans’ most recent game. Now, I’ll be uploading that breakdown here to Titans Wire every Tuesday.
Without further ado, on to the tape!
GB went back to a 6-1 front v #Titans
Made the run game difficult. Stacking the interior makes it tough to double then climb to the 2nd level. Hard to run OZ or duo. Try to go OZ weak here, but such a tough reach for Nate.
NASTY HENRY STIFF ARM!!! 💪 pic.twitter.com/HP1PyFnLJP

DAVID AND GOLIATH!!!! 😤😤😤
David Long and Teair Tart are the heart and soul of the #Titans Run Defense.
Tart takes on the double, watch as Long shoots forward, one of the OL doubling Tart has to slide off to pick him up. Leaves Tart 1v1 now, he WINS!
They meet at the RB. pic.twitter.com/gVi6WYMuiV

The #Packers consistently attacked the perimeter with runs and quick throws. They did not want to deal with the middle of the #Titans defense.
When they did this, it comes down to winning man on man. Rice beats his block and watch Fulton beat a TE to the spot!! Tough defense! pic.twitter.com/48SlB3M0Qw

David & Goliath Part 2!!! #Titans
Tart absolutely cooks Myers with the swim move and takes away the inside. Murchison does a DAMN good job holding two blockers. Keeps Long clean so he can dart into the backfield and make the play!! pic.twitter.com/IDv5FOnYeJ

THIRD AND TWO! Money Down $$$
Watch Aaron Brewer communicate assignments to Radunz pre-snap. Next is just great 1v1 execution!
Davis, Brew, Radunz all win against their man and open hole for Henry to get the first down. #Titans pic.twitter.com/ldaNuxpx4V

Robert Woods is a CHAIN MOVER #Titans have a critical third down in the RZ right before half. Stack release with Woods/Hoop. Hoop clears out a hole in the zone and Woods sits down in the perfect spot for Tannehill to fit it in and keep the drive going! pic.twitter.com/0anftMsbjv

David Long continues to become one of the best LBs in the NFL. He ends this drive with some fantastic pressure. #Titans in their staple Cover 1 Lurk.
Upfront is the magic. Autry & Simmons dart to the left to pull the OL, creating a 1v1 w/ Long v Aaron Jones. Long wins easy. pic.twitter.com/FGo14djFkh

#Titans have to continue to create big play chances in space for Derrick Henry.
Nice screen here, Brew & Daley spring it. Nate Davis lays an AMAZING block on #20. Woods and NWI on the outside do a job. Henry does the rest. If Treylon blocks this is a paint job lol pic.twitter.com/uljEDyTYxP

These are the needed nuances to beating coverage. Woods motions right behind Burks into a stack. Such craft by Woods to run DIRECTLY behind Burks so you don't know which way he may go, in or out. Once Woods declares it's too late. Big gain #Titans pic.twitter.com/WiIbnM8s1j

2nd & 1 inside the plus 40. Time to take a shot.
Love the play call going PA out of 22. Burks is there too. If RT lobs it out and lets Burks run to it I think he has a shot, but trying to drill it in there quick allows the backside CB to cut it off. Tannehill gotta watch this. pic.twitter.com/pyofgwiB1J

GAME OVER #Titans
Simmons closes it out for good with this stuff on 4th down. Simmons folds #76 to the ground and blocks the path of the RB. pic.twitter.com/vF2JALC3vv
