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 significant changes this week are for Tennessee: The Titans' 41 points against the Bills jumped them from a tie for 23rd to 18th in points and their third-down conversion ranking leaped from 18th to 11th. Defensively, they are at long last no longer 32nd in pass defense. That honor now belongs to Detroit, and the Titans are 31st.
Also of note: Tom Brady and the Patriots dropped Indy from ninth to 16th in pass defense.
