Where Titans rank statistically going into Week 18

The Tennessee Titans had yet another poor showing on offense in Week 17 that aided in their 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Not only did the offense struggle, but the Titans also lost quarterback Will Levis due to a foot injury suffered in the second quarter. Thankfully, the Titans appear to have dodged a bullet and the injury isn’t serious.

Going into Week 18, the Titans’ offensive rankings are not good, as you’d expect. Tennessee’s rushing attack is the only aspect of the offense that sports a respectable ranking, but even that is in the bottom half of the NFL.

Things are better on defense, which has easily been the better of the two units this season. However, the only area where Tennessee’s unit ranks in the top 10 is in sacks.

Now, after another disastrous showing in Week 17 against the Texans, a look at where the Titans rank statistically on both sides of the ball ahead of the final game of the season.
