Titans’ top PFF grades and stats from Week 3 win
As we do every week, it’s time to take a look at the top Pro Football Focus grade and stats from the Tennessee Titans’ Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Before we get to all that, here are some stats from PFF (H/T John Glennon of Sports Illustrated):
Ryan Tannehill with a clean pocket: 13-16, 169 yards, 110.7 QB rating.
Ryan Tannehill pressured: 6-11, 95 yards, TD, INT, 75.9 QB rating.
74 of Derrick Henry’s 85 rushing yards were after contact. Henry forced six missed tackles after having four in his first two games.
Also of note was the performance of left tackle Dennis Daley, who was making his first start in place of Taylor Lewan. Daley went from a 14.5 pass protection grade last week to the team’s best in Week 3.
Now, let’s take a look at the offensive line’s performance, as well as how the secondary and pass-rush fared based on the grade of Pro Football Focus.
