Titans at Panthers Overview

The Tennessee Titans have scored 50 combined points in their last two games, and they have done that with Ryan Tannehill in at quarterback. Tannehill took over for Marcus Mariota, who just continued to fall short of his potential.

Running back Derrick Henry is having a solid season, but the Titans are averaging less than 100 rushing yards per game. Tennessee has still been getting great play from its defense, which is allowing just 16.9 points per game.
