Where Titans rank statistically going into Week 10

The Tennessee Titans have had their fair share of struggles throughout the 2023 season, with a lot of their strengths often being offset by their weaknesses.

The Titans have a top-12 scoring defense, but it gets ruined by the fact that their scoring offense ranks in the bottom 10. Tennessee’s rushing offense also ranks in the top 12, yet its passing attack is amongst the least productive in the league.

Another example of the yin and yang of the 2023 Titans is how they’re amongst the best teams in the league at protecting the football, yet they’re arguably the worst when it comes to taking the ball away.

To make matters worse, Tennessee is also mediocre, at best, in several different areas. If the Titans are ever going to reach their full potential, Tennessee desperately needs to find more consistency and improve upon what it doesn’t do well.

Listed below are the Titans’ team rankings in every major statistical category after the first nine weeks of the NFL season.
