Titans’ best and worst PFF grades, stats from Week 16

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.

While Malik Willis was sacked four times, PFF doesn’t credit any of them to any Titans player. Either that’s a mistake or PFF is blaming all four on Willis, which wasn’t the case.

Nevertheless, here are the numbers from PFF:

LT Dennis Daley: 4/0

RG Jordan Roos: 4/0

RT Le’Raven Clark: 2/0

TE Geoff Swaim: 1/0
