TENNESSEE’S BEST PUSHBACK

Coaching Direction Is Tennessee’s Only Close Fight

Robert Saleh gives Tennessee one place to push back. Tennessee sits only 0.9 points behind Indianapolis in Coaching Direction, but close is not the same as an edge. Indianapolis still has Daniel Jones at quarterback and fewer roster problems, two advantages the Titans cannot match in this comparison.

How to Read This Comparison
