Where Titans rank statistically going into Week 16

The Tennessee Titans had a rough Week 15. They lost to the Houston Texans while wearing Oilers uniforms, subsequently extending their losing streak within the division to seven games dating back to last year.

Aside from that, their offensive line had a horrendous performance, which led to Derrick Henry having arguably the worst performance of his career and Tennessee’s rookie quarterback, Will Levis, got hurt in the process.

The final cherry on top of it all was the Titans officially being eliminated from playoff contention with three weeks left in the regular season, which is the earliest in a season the Titans have been eliminated in the Mike Vrabel era. 

Unsurprisingly, the majority of the Titans’ statistical rankings took a hit as well following Sunday’s disastrous performance. Let’s find out where the Titans rank prior to Sunday’s Week 16 contest with the Seattle Seahawks.
