Long Drives
Rank Team Drives No First Downs Pct.
6 Jacksonville 45 13 28.9
12 Indianapolis 41 13 31.7
17 Houston 47 16 34.0
22 Tennessee 51 21 41.2

Nothing has that beat-your-head-against-the-wall feeling like multiple three-and-outs for an offense.

I know the winless Titans have been poor in the department, and asked Pete Newmann of ESPN Stats and Information where the four teams of the AFC South rank in the three-and-outs.

The Titans are actually a bit better than I would have anticipated, but the real surprise is that in a division with two high-powered offenses in Indianapolis and Houston, it’s Jacksonville that’s fared best at getting at least one first down on a possession.
