There were plenty of valid reasons to believe the offense
would regre s in 2020.Those reasons started with the
performance of , who after taking over for Marcus Mariota
in Week 6, completed 70 percent of his pa ses at an
average of 9.6 yards per attempt, the best figure in the
. He threw 22 touchdowns against only six interceptions
pelicans-jeresy/elfrid-payton-jersey">Elfrid Payton
Jersey , giving him a league-best 117.5 pa ser
rating. To say those figures were out of line with his
performance during his time in Miami would be a dramatic
understatement. Tannehill completed 63 percent of his pa
ses at an average of 7.0 yards per attempt with the ,
throwing 123 touchdowns and 75 interceptions while
registering a 87.0 pa ser rating. It was more than
reasonable to expect Tannehill to take a step backward
this season, even if you still thought he'd remain a
quality contributor.The second reason to expect a step
backward was that it figured to be remarkably difficult
for to repeat his extraordinary efficiency. Through the
first six weeks of last season, Henry averaged only 3.7
yards per attempt and scored four touchdowns. Once
Tannehill took over, Henry took off: he ran for 1,124
yards and 12 scores in nine games, averaging an absurd
5.9 yards per attempt along the way. With the Titans
losing star tackle in free agency, it seemed reasonable
to expect at least a minor step backward from Henry, even
if you still thought he'd remain one of the league's
better backs.The third reason was that the Titans figured
to be a run-heavy team -- just as they were last year --
and run-heavy offenses are generally le s efficient than
pa s-heavy ones. The Titans were an exception in 2019,
but the reason exceptions are exceptions is because they
are not the rule. They're rare. So it was reasonable to
expect a step backward if they oriented the offense the
same way they did last year. Instead, Tenne see is right
back where it was last season. From Week 7 through Week
17 of the 2019 campaign, the Titans ranked second in
Football Outsiders' offensive DVOA. This season, the
Titans rank third in offensive DVOA through the first six
weeks. They've got the No. 11-ranked rushing unit and the
second most efficient pa sing game in the league. They're
second in the league in both scoring average (32.8 points
per game) and yards per game (422). What makes those
figures even orleans-pelicans-jeresy/george-hill-jersey">George Hill
Jersey more impre sive is the fact that prior to
last Sunday's monster game against the , Henry was again
averaging just 3.7 yards per carry early in the season.
It was Tannehill and the pa s offense doing almost all of
the heavy lifting.If Tannehill has regre sed this season,
it is only very slightly -- and you can make a pretty
good argument that he's actually been better than he was
a year ago. Take a look at the
numbers.YearCompAttComp%YdsTDTD%IntInt%Y/ARtgQBR20128670.

85.6What really makes the Tannehill-led pa sing attack
work for Tenne see is the combination of two things: the
play-action fake and the intermediate pa s. Tannehill
has 26 completions of 15 or more yards this season, 19 of
which have come after a run fake. The Titans love to get
in heavy formations with Tannehill under center, then
have him fake a hand-off to Henry before hitting a cro
ser over the middle of the field. But they'll also line
Tannehill up in the shotgun with light personnel
packages, then have him fake a hand-off to Henry before
unleashing a throw downfield, just to keep defenders a
little bit off-balance.The Tenne see pa s-catching corps
is not the most well-known group outside of explosive
second-year wideout A.J. Brown, but it is an extremely
well-constructed group. Brown is a physical marvel, one
of the biggest, strongest, and fastest wideouts in the
league. He's their matchup nightmare, and Tannehill's
first option both over the middle and down the sideline.
But the Titans supplement him with speedsters like Khalif
Raymond, shifty slow men like , and big-bodied po se sion
receivers like . And then they have at tight end, who
provides similar matchup problems as Brown.Having a
versatile crew of receivers allows the Titans to use all
different kinds of route combinations to move the ball on
those intermediate pa ses
NBA New Orleans
Pelicans Jeresy . Tannehill is 31 of 48 for 571
yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a league-
best 133.2 pa ser rating on throws traveling between 10
and 19 yards downfield so far this season, per Pro
Football Focus and Tru Media. As as a
pelicans-jeresy/eric-bledsoe-jersey">Eric Bledsoe
Jersey result, a league-best 43.9 percent of his pa
s attempts this season have resulted in first downs or
touchdowns. Tannehill has spread the wealth to each of
his weapons with those throws, and it's actually kind of
remarkable how similar some of the pa ses look to each
other. Another big factor driving Tannehill's efficiency
this season: he has simply stopped taking sacks. He's
been under pre sure about 4 percent le s often than the
average QB this season, but his sack rate is a
microscopic 2.8 percent -- third-lowest in the NFL. It's
down from 9.8 percent last season, making this a huge
area of improvement. Considering the Titans lost one of
their best offensive linemen in free agency, it's an
impre sive one. But it also might be about to take a hit,
because left tackle is now out for the season after
tearing his ACL last week.Lewan is likely to be replaced
by , who figures to be a big downgrade. But the Titans
have the ability to scheme around his lo s. Offensive
coordinator Arthur Smith has emerged as a very good play-
caller over these past two years. It's not just his
reliance on play-action, throwing from heavy sets, and
running into light boxes, either. He's getting pretty
creative. The Titans have scored touchdowns in each of
their past two games on plays where they lined up their
monster-sized running back in the slot, confusing
opposing defensive a signments.The thing about all this
efficient pa sing is, it will open things up even more
for Henry to run the ball down the throat of opposing
defenses, as he did last week.

Jersey He struggled to get untracked through the
early part of the season, but against the Texans, the
Titans called some runs with designed cutbacks that
allowed him a freer path to the second level, where he
can more easily run over, around, and through defenders.
Henry is so ma sive that he almost can't be taken down by
a single defensive back -- you've got to stand him up at
or near the line of scrimmage in order to prevent him
from getting a big gain. If the Titans are able to get
him in open space as often as they did last week, that's
le s likely to happen. They'll face their toughest test
to date this Sunday, when they take on the and the
league's most dominant defensive front. Each of T.J.
Watt, , , , and is playing fantastic football this
season, absolutely schooling offensive linemen at the
point of attack. It's tough to imagine a better group to
test the efficiency and efficacy of your offense. By this
time a few days from now, we'll know a lot more about
whether th
