TENNESSEE’S BEST PUSHBACK

QB Stability Is Tennessee’s Only Close Fight

Cam Ward gives Tennessee one place to push back. Tennessee sits only 0.3 points behind Indianapolis in QB Stability, but close is not the same as an edge. Indianapolis still has fewer roster problems and the less severe defensive concern, two advantages the Titans cannot match in this comparison.

How to Read This Comparison

PFM Team Score determines the overall order. The Team DNA comparison puts five core pillars on the same 0–100 scale, while the full rows show every current category.

PFM compares overall team strength rather than predicting one matchup. Road Ahead adds schedule context without changing PFM Team Score.
