The Tennessee Titans picked up a surprising win over their AFC South division rival Houston Texans in Week 12. The 32-27 win It wasn't an easy game, but the Titans continue to show improvement on the field. The defense disrupted the Texans' offense, and the offense managed to move the ball down the field and put points on the board.
Typically each week we can point to a specific moment, player or area of the pitch that had the biggest impact on the game. But this week that wasn't the case. The entire team looked good, it seemed like fatigue wasn't a factor this week, and they looked like a completely different team than the one we saw in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears.
Now let's take a closer look at the number of snaps that contributed to the Titans' Week 12 win.
Offensive snaps: 67
Defensive snaps: 56
Special teams snaps: 35
On offense, Nicholas Petit-Frere played 100% of the snaps at right tackle this week after Leroy Watson and John Ojukwu were unavailable, and Isaiah Prince was not elevated this week. The eight sacks Will Levis recorded are the most he has conceded in a single game this season, and it is the second time this has happened. Levis also recorded eight sacks in the loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.
There was less rotation on defense this week, which isn't all that unexpected given the injury situation, but the defense did its best on Sunday despite its lack of depth. And it's still an improvement when fewer than five players play 100% of the snaps, so it looks like Dennard Wilson is factoring in fatigue during games.
