The Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks face off at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, this Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CST.

These two teams are on very different trajectories. The Seahawks are eyeing a playoff run that doesn’t end in the divisional round, and the Titans are hoping to survive the season without suffering any further losses. Their goals are different, and it’s likely going to show on the field this week. There are a multitude of reasons to be worried this week, but we managed to narrow it down to three.

Let’s take a look at three causes for concern as we head into Week 12.

Offensive struggles

Rookie quarterback Cam Ward has committed 12 turnovers in 10 games, including eight interceptions and four fumbles. He has shown flashes of poise, but his ball security remains a liability against a Seahawks’ defense that ranks top-10 in takeaways.

Some of the turnovers aren’t Ward’s fault; the Titans have used six different starting combinations along the offensive line this season. Left tackle Dan Moore has allowed seven sacks by himself, and J.C. Latham is prone to false starts, which backs up the offense. Seattle has a pass rush that features Leonard Williams, DeMarcus Lawrence, Boye Mafe, and former Titan Ernest Jones IV. Seattle’s defensive front is going to pose significant problems for the Titans’ offensive line.

And, lastly, the Titans’ wide receivers have essentially been wiped off the map. Tyler Lockett is gone, Calvin Ridley and Bryce Oliver are on injured reserve, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike sat out of practice on Wednesday with injuries, and the Titans were forced to sign James Proche II and Mason Kinsey to the active roster to provide depth. If Ayomanor and Dike can’t go on Sunday, the Titans will still have to elevate practice squad members for depth.

Run defense regression

Much of this is because Jeffery Simmons missed time with a hamstring injury, but Tennessee’s run defense used to be a strength. Now it’s slipped to 23rd in EPA per rush allowed. Missed tackles and poor gap discipline have plagued them, which will allow Kenneth Walker III to run all over them if not fixed. He averages 4.8 yards per carry. The Titans are allowing 3.9 yards per carry through the season, but some of that is skewed because teams are throwing a ton against the Titans’ decimated secondary. Simmons, T’Vondre Sweat, and the interior linebackers must be ready for Walker this week.

Lack of explosive plays

The Titans haven’t been successful with explosive plays this season, ranking 31st in explosive play rate. Explosive plays include runs over 10 yards and passes over 20 yards, neither of which has happened much for the Titans this season. Without Calvin Ridley, and with the Titans using a conservative scheme, they’ve struggled to stretch the field and flip field position. That’s not likely to get better this week with all of the injured wide receivers, and that will hurt the Titans this week.
