There wasn’t much to gripe about with the Tennessee Titans’ defense in 2021 after the unit experienced a revival and helped carry the team to a 12-5 season.
However, Titans outside linebackers coach Ryan Crow did point to one issue the defense — and more specifically, the pass-rush — had: forcing and recovering fumbles.
Tennessee’s top-three sacks leaders, outside linebacker Harold Landry (12) and defensive linemen Denico Autry (nine) and Jeffery Simmons (8.5) combined for just one forced fumble and zero recoveries.
