[Mickey Ryan] Titans have the #1 third down defense in the NFL (27.1%)

12 comments

1. Titans are 32nd in the NFL on 4th down defense (77.8%). They’ve allowed 7/9 attempts.

2. That’s not #1 worst? I don’t believe it! We did it! We can finally stop people!

3. Washington didn’t convert a 3rd down until the 4th quarter Sunday.

4. Weren’t we one of the worst a season or two ago?

5. Not bad considering how banged up our defense is.

6. Remember two years ago when we had a historically bad third down defense? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

7. As of today we are also:

   * #29 in passing offense

   * #29 in receiving yards

   * #30 in total offense

   * #26 in total defense

8. That’s because it rarely takes offenses 3 downs to get a 1st down on us.

9. Yet we just allowed 300yards passing three weeks in a row for the first time in franchise history.

   What a weird dichotomy

10. Anyone remember a couple years ago when we were like dead last in this statistic? Geez, it was painful.

11. I hate to be pessimistic, but so far we have played Giants (Jones before he got good), Raiders (McDaniels lol), Colts (turnstiles and a statue), and Commanders (Wentz lol). Barring the Bills, we haven’t played a really good offense yet.

12. My how the turns table
