The Tennessee Titans endured a rollercoaster of defensive play over the 2024 season. One which ended with an extremely disappointing result. While there are many contributing factors to Tennessee’s defensive inconsistency, one sticks out far more than the rest. The Titans have starkly the worst pass rushing unit in the entire NFL.
Getting pressure from a front seven is arguably the most important aspect of an NFL defense, and Tennessee has consistently set themselves up for failure in that aspect. Fielding a declining Harold Landry and Arden Key as their primary edge rushers in addition to a concerning lack of depth at the position was a recipe for disaster.
