6 burning questions going into Week 10 vs. Broncos

Whether it’s Tannehill or Willis under center, this Titans offense is unlikely to start lighting up the scoreboard anytime soon, and that’s especially true in Week 10 against an elite Broncos defense.

As if things couldn’t be worse for the Titans’ passing attack, the Broncos sport the No. 1 pass defense in the NFL, and No. 2 scoring defense.

However, Denver’s weakness on defense is Tennessee’s strength on offense: the Broncos own the No. 21 run defense in the NFL, so there’s hope yet for this offense.

Outside of Henry, the defense is the other reason the Titans are 5-3 right now. Tennessee’s group is elite against the run (No. 2) and is ceding 19.8 points per game, tied for 10th in the NFL. If you take out the 41-point drubbing courtesy of the Buffalo Bills, it’s 16.7, which would rank fourth.

Another positive for Tennessee is that the Broncos have been just as bad on offense, with their 15.6 points per game being even worse than Tennessee’s.

The showings of Tannehill and Wilson have been similar, but the Broncos are throwing for more yards per game. However, Tennessee has an edge when it comes to ground attacks.

If what we’ve seen from these teams through nine weeks holds up, this is going to be an ugly game — and that’s just what the doctor ordered for Tennessee in its current state.
