With the Tennessee Titans’ latest ugly loss in the books following a Week 16 defeat at the hands of the Houston Texans, it’s time to take a look at the best and worst of the team’s Pro Football Focus grades and stats.
The Titans’ highest-graded player on either side of the ball was running back Derrick Henry, who notched an 89.4. Henry tallied 126 rushing yards and a touchdown, but also had a costly fumble.
On defense, linebacker Jack Gibbens pulled in the highest overall grade with an 81.4. Dr. Gibby had some big tackles, an interception, and he had the highest coverage grade on the team with an 88.3.
Now, the rest of the best and worst from Week 16.
