Unpredictability Helps the Offense Get Back to Normal

Bleav in Titans

Ryan Tannehill looked more like the Ryan Tannehill that Tennessee Titans have come to expect when he completed 20 of 24 passes and did not commit a turnover in Sunday's 27-24 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. It was a much-needed bounce back after a disastrous outing the previous week, and it should ease the fears of Titans fans everywhere. ... Tannehill was sacked five times in the contest, but an offensive line that featured Dillon Radunz at left guard held up when it mattered, such as the 70-yard pass from Tannehill to Tretylon Burks in the second quarter, a play that kickstarted Tennessee's offense. The line also helped Derrick Henry rush for 80 yards on 25 carries. ... Speaking of Henry, the balance between his workload and that of rookie Tyjae Spears was much more in line with what most expect from this offense, but the way new offensive coordinator Tim Kelly used his two backs kept the Chargers guessing and will make it harder for future opponents to know what is coming. ... The line will be put to the test again this week at Cleveland. The Browns defense features an elite pass rusher in Myles Garrett and is led by former Titans assistant Jim Schwartz, who knows how Tennessee's staff thinks. ... Sunday's game, however, won't be a showdown between Henry and Cleveland's Nick Chubb, the NFL's top two rushers since the start of the 2018 season.
