The Titans are back in the playoffs for the first time in 9 years and a vastly improved secondary has a lot to do with that. A big part of that improvement has been the rapid development of first round pick Adoree Jackson from a raw-but-athletic prospect in to a legit CB1. Jackson’s Peanut Tillman-esque forced fumble at the end of the first half against Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was just the latest in a string of excellent play for the rookie corner.
In addition to causing that forced fumble Jackson was also a big part of a Titans pass defense that held Blake Bortles to a 15 of 34 (44%) for 158 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions stat line in the most important Titans game in nearly a decade.
