However, the rest of the game will more or less be up to Tannehill. He's been the one who has completely transformed the Titans from a team that is on the verge of irrelevance to a surprisingly exciting team in the divisional rounds.
His impact has been profound that Zach Ragan of A to Z Sports Nashville noted how impactful he's been to the offense.
“Running back Derrick Henry averaged 69.3 yards per game before Tannehill took over as Tennessee’s starting quarterback,” Ragan said. “After Tannehill took over, Henry averaged 112.4 yards per game.”
Through the rest of the game, Tannehill will likely find it difficult to throw passes against the Ravens as they are one of the best passing defenses in the entire league. However, he and the rest of the Tennessee offense should be at least able to make life difficult for the Ravens. Fans can be certain that Tannehill will go down swinging and throwing lasers.
