2) Tannehill held up against blitzes this season
Though Tannehill struggled against the Patriots’ top-notch defense, he enjoyed a scorching run through the regular season and finished the year as the NFL’s top-rated passer. His efficiency, coupled with Henry’s talents, helped the Titans score touchdowns in the red zone at the highest rate in the NFL this year.
Most importantly in regards to the divisional round matchup, Tannehill thrived while facing pressure. He posted a 69.6 completion percentage and a 120.3 passer rating against the blitz in the regular season.
With defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale calling plays, the Ravens rely on the blitz more heavily than any other team.
