As we continue our postgame coverage of the Tennessee Titans’ preseason opener against the Chicago Bears, we’re now taking a look at the top Pro Football Focus grades and stats from the game on Saturday.
Scoring the highest overall grade on either side of the ball was linebacker Ben Niemann, who notched a 90.3. Niemann, who tallied four tackles and one fumble recovery, was the only player on the team to score above a 90.
On offense, the top grade goes to center Aaron Brewer, who scored an 81.9. He only played the first series and a total of 12 snaps, but the 2020 undrafted free agent didn’t allow a single pressure.
On top of the top-10 Pro Football Focus grades on both sides of the ball, we also have offensive line, pass-rush and coverage stats to share with you, with the O-line stats being of particular interest after the backups allowed a ton of sacks on Saturday.
