Where Titans rank statistically heading into Week 15

Titans AFC South (Organization) NFL USA TODAY Network Denny Simmons Tennessean Jim Rassol Robert Scheer IndyStar Tennessee (Organization)

The Tennessee Titans have a massive divisional showdown this weekend against a Houston Texans team that could be depleted with injuries.

Tennessee is coming off its biggest win of the season after beating the Miami Dolphins on Monday night and a two-week stretch in which they’ve scored 28 points in back-to-back games. In fact, since Will Levis took over back in Week 8, the Titans have scored 28 points in three out of his seven outings.

That type of production has helped the Titans a bit when it comes to their statistical rankings in several offensive categories, but Tennessee’s offense still ranks in the bottom half in several areas. Meanwhile, while the defense is trending toward the middle of the pack.

Before we take a look at exactly where the Titans stand heading into Week 15 in every major statistical category, it’s important to note that all of the data used in this article was collected from Team Rankings, unless noted otherwise.
