The Patriots’ defense will be tested against the Titans

The Patriots‘ defense has gotten a lot of praise throughout the course of this season, but at times it has shown weaknesses. Four times this season, they have allowed an opposing running back to rush for at least 100 yards. They pride themselves on being defensively sound and putting the offense in position to do just enough to win games, but even with a 12-4 record, people question if the Patriots have the ability to do so.

The Tennessee Titans are not one of the first teams that come to mind when you are thinking of the high-powered explosive and dangerous offenses around the league, but what they are good at is running the football.
