Despite a 3-14 finish to their regular season last year, the Tennessee Titans' defense was among the best in the NFL. They finished second in the league in yards allowed per game with an average of 311.2 yards allowed, only trailing the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' (278.4).
So why was there such a huge gap between the best and worst teams in the NFL? While the Titans had an overall good defense, they missed the mark on some of the biggest categories, including sacks and turnovers forced. Their offense took a lot of heat for their 26th ranking in yards per game and tied for league leading in giveaways (34), but the defense didn't excel in the takeaways department, either.
