Ryan Tannehill’s passing effectiveness has gotten better this year, accumulating 8.17 yards-per-target vs a mere 7.17 mark last year.
Opposing quarterbacks have thrown for the 6th-most yards in the NFL (276.0 per game) vs. the Washington Commanders defense this year.
The Washington Commanders pass defense has exhibited poor efficiency this year, surrendering 8.77 yards-per-target: the 5th-most in the NFL.
The Washington Commanders cornerbacks rank as the 4th-worst group of CBs in the NFL this year in covering pass-catchers.
The Tennessee Titans have been faced with a stacked the box on 26.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-most in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.

THE BLITZ projects Ryan Tannehill to attempt 31.2 passes in this game, on average: the 2nd-least of all quarterbacks.
