Here is our weekly look at how the AFC South teams rank in 10 key categories in the league.
I believe that scoring and third-down efficiency tend to be more important than yardage gained or surrendered, though it’s all tied together.
The most interesting thing here is how much damage Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew inflicted on the run defense rankings for Jacksonville and Tennessee.
With Johnson pacing the Titans to 305 rushing yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Jaguars, Jacksonville dropped from 13th to 25th in run defense. And with Jones-Drew leading the Jaguars to 217 rushing yards, the Titans fell from ninth to 18th against the run.
