The Tennessee Titans (5-5) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-6) share a division in the AFC South, but that’s not the only thing the two teams have in common ahead of Sunday’s matchup.

Both teams have respectively been one of the best in disrupting the dropbacks of opposing quarterbacks.

In fact, the Titans and Jags are tied in that particular area.

The two teams rank 10th overall in the league is disrupted dropbacks defense, with a percentage of 17.0%.

They trail only the New England Patriots (26.2%), San Francisco 49ers (24.3%), Pittsburgh Steelers (21.8%), Minnesota Vikings (20.7%), Carolina Panthers (18.8%), Buffalo Bills (18.6%), Green Bay Packers (17.8%), Philadelphia Eagles (17.5%) and the Oakland Raiders (17.1%).

Here’s a further look at the breakdown.

It will be interesting to see just how much trouble each team is able to give the other’s signal-caller on Sunday. Both teams have changed quarterbacks between the last time they met, with Ryan Tannehill replacing Marcus Mariota in Tennessee and Nick Foles making his return over Gardner Minshew in Jacksonville.
