Titans lack firepower on offense

The Raiders defense played a better game against the Kansas City Chiefs than people realized, although they missed out on multiple opportunities. Obviously, the Raiders’ defense is nothing to brag about, but luckily neither is the Titans offense.

Tennessee ranks 24th in total yards per game with around 330 yards of offense per game. The Titans put up 31 points last week against Indianapolis, but one of those came from a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, and two other times they were gifted great field position because of Jacoby Brissett interceptions.

If the Raiders are able to slow down Derrick Henry, which is a tall task, they will have a great chance of winning the game. Remember, the Titans are catching lightning in a bottle with Ryan Tannehill right now, and you have to wonder when his current magic is going to finally run out.
