THE BLITZ projects the Tennessee Titans to be the 6th-most run-centric team on the slate this week with a 46.0% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects Derrick Henry to notch 24.2 rush attempts this week, on average, ranking in the 100th percentile among RBs.
Derrick Henry has received 84.4% of his team’s rush attempts this year, placing him in the 99th percentile among RBs.
The Tennessee Titans have gone no-huddle on 11.3% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (10th-most in the NFL). This speeds up the pace, leading to more volume and stat-padding.
The Tennessee Titans have utilized some form of misdirection on 50.7% of their plays since the start of last season (10th-most in football), which can confuse the defense and bolster offensive production.
Cons
THE BLITZ projects the Titans to run the 6th-least offensive plays on the slate this week with 63.6 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The Tennessee Titans have called the least plays in the league this year, totaling just 50.5 plays per game.
Derrick Henry has rushed for substantially fewer yards per game (76.0) this season than he did last season (105.0).
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.
