Raiders force two turnovers from Ryan Tannehill

The Titans owe their resurgence to the decision of opting for Ryan Tannehill under center as opposed to Marcus Mariota. Tannehill has thrown for 12 touchdowns to just four interceptions this season, and he’s currently riding a three-game streak of not turning the ball over through the air. On the ground? That is a different story.

Ryan Tannehill has three fumbles in the past three weeks, one in each game and all three were lost. So while he’s been sharp through the air, he is susceptible to losing the ball if there is pressure. For the Raiders to win, they need to make plays on defense and force Tannehill to cough up the ball.

The Raiders defense surprisingly held their own last week, as it was more the fault of the offense that dug Oakland into such a deep hole. Like many other Raiders players, the defense makes plays at home. On Sunday, they’ll force two turnovers out of Ryan Tannehill.
