It’s no secret that the Tennessee Titans have struggled with their consistency over the first five weeks. One week they look like a budding contender, and the next they look like a team destined to pick inside the top 10 of the 2024 NFL draft.
That type of trajectory is likely going to leave them destined for mediocrity unless something changes and the Titans start to stack strong or weak performances together for multiple weeks on end.
Buy Titans TicketsThe Titans’ win rates, according to ESPN analytics, certainly reflect that, as Tennessee ranks right around the middle of the pack in three out of the four categories. Tennessee’s most promising ranking comes in its pass-rush win rate.
The Titans are seventh in the NFL in this area, winning approximately 52 percent of their pass-rush attempts. The Titans come in at No. 18 overall in both run-stop win rate (32 percent) and run-block win rate (71 percent).
The Titans’ run-stop win rate undoubtedly took a hit after they allowed nearly as many rushing yards last week alone (193) as they did over the three weeks prior (212).
Meanwhile, Tennessee’s pass-blocking is right around the league average, coming in at No. 14 at a respectable 58 percent.
This week, the Titans are set to take on a dynamic Baltimore Ravens team led by quarterback Lamar Jackson and linebacker Roquan Smith.
If Tennessee wants to head into the bye week with a .500 record, the team must find a way to hold its own in each of these categories. Otherwise it could end up being be a brutally long flight home from London.
