The Titans appear to have righted the ship as they take on the Commanders at 1 p.m. Sunday at FedEx Field on CBS. Tennessee is a small favorite on the road against what has been one of the worst teams in the NFL.
Derrick Henry looks more like the Henry we expected to see, as he’s averaging 4.75 yards per carry with two scores in his last two games. That, as well as Ryan Tannehill doing just enough offensively.

Well, there’s also the part about Carson Wentz not being anywhere close to the quarterback that we saw in Week 1 against the Jaguars.
In his last two games against the Eagles and Cowboys, Wentz has thrown for 381 yards, one touchdown, and two picks while being sacked 11 times.
Wentz could continue to feel the heat, as the Titans are eighth in the league in forcing quarterback hurries at 9.8%. The Commanders did activate rookie running back Brian Robinson just five weeks after he was shot twice.
Tannehill will look to continue to make Robert Woods happen, as Woods has a 19.8 percent target share through four weeks. And the Titans should look to air it out more against the Commanders, as their rush defense has actually been rather solid. But they can be beaten through the air. We’ve seen it every week so far.
Look, the Titans have their identity, and they aren’t going to get away from it. But expect a few more attempts than normal from Tannehill.
