Titans Week 15 Predictions
4. D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard continue their consistent running
Tennessee's rushing attack has not faltered with Derrick Henry sidelined. Between D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard, the Titans are running the ball consistently. The Steelers have a sturdy defense, but Tennessee should not shy away from the run game.
Look for the Titans to get creative in this one. Foreman and Hilliard have been a solid one-two punch, but they have to find a way to beat Pittsburgh's front seven. It'll be tough, but if Tennessee can control the clock with their rushing attack, it'll become much easier to win the game.
3. Julio Jones comes to life with 75+ receiving yards and 1 touchdown
Julio Jones has struggled with injuries this year and for that reason, has failed to connect with Ryan Tannehill. Additionally, the Titans' lack of pass protection hasn't allowed Tannehill to throw the deep ball either. Regardless, the Steelers defense hasn't looked great recently, making this a great opportunity for Jones to get back into the groove.
2. Ryan Tannehill shines, scoring 2 touchdowns on the day
We'll see how this game plays out, but Ryan Tannehill is a key component for the Titans. He doesn't have to be elite for Tennessee to win this contest. Instead, if Tannehill can get rid of the ball quickly and not turn it over, they'll have a great chance to win on Sunday. Look for Tannehill to become an efficient quarterback against the Steelers.
1. Titans defense is the reason Tennessee wins this game
The Titans' defense dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars and are hungry to put on another shutout performance. Pittsburgh's weaknesses on offense is where Tennessee thrives. The Steelers have one of the worst offensive lines in the league, especially in the interior.
We should see Jeffery Simmons feast in the Steelers' backfield. With a weak offensive line and Ben Roethlisberger being immobile, the Titans pass rush should be on full display. Not to mention, Kevin Byard will continue his high level of play in the secondary. Tennessee's defense is becoming healthy at the right time and should cause problems for the Steelers.
