The Titans host the Browns on Sunday with a chance to build on last week’s win—but their offense must improve against a Cleveland defense that has limited opponents’ scoring. Tennessee will also look to pressure Deshaun Watson, sustain its recent takeaway surge and end its long-running struggles to win consecutive games and at home.

By the Numbers
  • Tennessee ranks last in total offense, averaging 236.3 yards per game, and 31st in scoring, at 14 points per game.
  • The Titans convert 34.78% of third downs and score on 46.67% of red-zone trips.
  • Cleveland allows 20.3 points per game, seventh-best in the NFL.
  • The Titans recorded 3 takeaways and 6 sacks against Indianapolis; they had fewer takeaways in Weeks 1-5 combined.
  • The Titans have won 2 of their last 20 home games since the start of the 2024 season.
Yes, But

Cleveland’s offense ranks near the bottom of the league, but Watson has delivered 4 game-winning drives this season and has a 120.4 career passer rating against Tennessee. He has thrown only 2 interceptions this year, so the Titans’ recent turnover production may be difficult to repeat.

State of Play
  • Cam Ward is averaging 166.3 passing yards per game and has yet to throw a touchdown in the first three quarters this season.
  • Rookie receiver Carnell Tate needs 56 receiving yards to reach 400 for his career; rookie linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. has 56 tackles and 3 passes defensed.
  • Tennessee has not won back-to-back games since November 2022.
What’s Next

The Titans’ immediate test is whether last week’s second-half scoring and defensive pressure can carry over against Cleveland. A win would end the team’s consecutive-game drought and give it a chance to build momentum at home.

Bottom Line

Last week’s win offers a reset, not proof that Tennessee has turned a corner. To make it count, the Titans need a more complete offensive performance and another disciplined, pressure-driven effort on defense.
