Here's our weekly look at where the teams of the AFC South stand in key categories. I generally consider third-down efficiency super-important. And points, of course, tend to trump all.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of numbers swayed a great distance based on the small sample size.
A couple big moves of note: Houston went from eighth to first in total defense; Indy went from seventh to 17th in passing offense; Jacksonville went from 16th to 32nd in overall offense; Tennessee plummeted from tied for 15th to 31st in third-down offense.
