THE BLITZ projects the Tennessee Titans to be the 3rd-most run-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 47.5% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects Derrick Henry to accumulate 24.9 carries in this contest, on average, placing him in the 100th percentile among RBs.
Derrick Henry has earned 86.0% of his offense’s carries this year, ranking him in the 100th percentile among RBs.
The Indianapolis Colts have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 13.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-least in the NFL. Choosing not to bring an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
The Tennessee Titans have gone no-huddle on 11.3% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (10th-most in football). This quickens the pace, leading to more volume and stat accumulation.

The Indianapolis Colts linebackers grade out as the best unit in football this year when it comes to defending the run.
The Tennessee Titans have faced a stacked the box on 26.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-most in the league. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
