Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been called one of the most underrated players in the NFL this season, and the stats sheet only continues to reflect that.
He’s posted a 6-1 overall record since taking over at the starting position, at the head of a new-look Titans offense that’s found life with him at the helm.
So far this season, Tannehill has taken the Titans from potentially looking to the 2020 NFL Draft class for a new signal-caller, to looking at him as a long-term option rather than merely an insurance policy.
In 2019, he’s passed for 1,993 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.
If Tannehill posts a passer rating of at least 130 this week against the visiting Houston Texans, he would become the first player in league history to produce a streak of five consecutive contests with a minimum of 10 pass attempts and a passer rating of at least 130.
His current streak includes a 133.9 passer rating against the Kansas City Chiefs (Nov. 10), a 155.8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars (Nov. 24), a 131.2 against the Indianapolis Colts (Dec. 1) and a 140.4 against the team’s most recent win over the Oakland Raiders (Dec. 8).
No quarterback before Tannehill in franchise history has ever started four back-to-back games with a passer rating of at least 100 with a minimum of 10 passing attempts per game.
Marcus Mariota in 2016 was the latest of six quarterbacks between the Titans and Oilers to do so.
Tannehill and the Titans will look to stay hot as they take on the Texans at noon CT on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
