Where Titans rank statistically heading into Week 14

The Tennessee Titans are coming off a disappointing overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13.

The team can’t dwell on it too long, as arguably their most daunting task of the season awaits them on Monday when they travel to Miami to face the Dolphins. 

Tennessee enters Week 14 sitting at 4-8, with minimal hope of making any realistic noise over the final five games of the season.

Statistically, the Titans have underwhelmed in practically every single category through 12 games. The offense ranks in the bottom half of the league in nearly every major category, while a defense that was expected to be an elite unit has severely regressed on every level and is hovering around the league average or worse in several notable areas.

Listed below are the Titans’ rankings in every major statistical category after the first 12 weeks of the NFL season. All of the data used in this article was collected from the Team Rankings, unless noted otherwise.
