To get a more in-depth idea of how the Tennessee Titans played in Week 17, it’s time to take a look at the Pro Football Focus grades and stats they compiled against the Dallas Cowboys.
We start with the highest overall grade. on the team. Taking the top spot on either side of the ball is unsurprisingly safety Kevin Byard (86.0), who came up with a pair of interceptions in the losing effort.
On the offensive side of the ball, the highest grade was earned by running back Jonathan Ward (79.5), but he didn’t meet our 10-snap minimum.
Behind him was wide receiver Racey McMath, whose 78.0 was the highest of any offensive player who saw at least 10 snaps. The LSU product had one catch for 39 yards.
With the highest overall grades out of the way, we now move to Titans grades in other facets, as well as taking a look at how the offensive line, pass-rush and secondary performed.
