With the Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts mercifully in the books, it’s time to take a look at the Tennessee Titans’ best and worst Pro Football Focus grades, as well as their coverage, offensive line and pass-rush stats.
Earning the top overall grade on either side of the ball was wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who scored an 84.6. Hopkins showed he isn’t slowing down one bit after leading the team with eight catches for 140 yards.
Buy Titans TicketsOn defense, defensive back Elijah Molden notched the highest overall mark at 82.1, although he barely qualified by our standards with just 10 snaps. If the Titans do replace Kristian Fulton on the outside with Roger McCreary and don’t move the LSU product to the slot, Molden may get more snaps.
On top of the best and worst PFF grades, we’ll also be taking a closer look at the offensive line’s work in both pass protection and run-blocking, the latter of which we just started doing this week considering Tennessee’s issues in that area this season.
We’ll unfortunately go over the Titans’ showings in the pass-rush and in coverage, as well, both of which were miserable in Week 5.
