The Chargers are at home to face the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 1:05 p.m. PT.
To get you prepped for the Week 10 bout, here are five key things to know about Los Angeles' opponent ahead of the matchup.
How things are going...
The Titans are 2-6 on the season. Tennessee snapped a three-game losing streak after beating the Patriots last Sunday.
Porous passing game
The Chargers shouldn't have to worry about the Titans presenting a problem through the air. Tennessee currently ranks 31st in passing offense, averaging 170.8 yards per game. Mason Rudolph has served as the Titans' starting quarterback in the last three games, while Will Levis has been sidelined with a shoulder injury. Rudolph had his most productive outing last weekend, throwing for over 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Tennessee is hopeful that Levis can play this weekend. In five games, Levis has completed 66.4% of his passes for 699 yards and five TDs to seven interceptions.
Ground game is working
While the Titans' passing attack hasn't been efficient, their offense has benefited from the running game. Tennessee is 12th in that department, averaging 125.6 YPG. Tony Pollard, who was acquired this past offseason, has been a key playmaker in the team's offense. Pollard has rushed for 622 yards and three scores, with an average of 4.4 yards per carry.
Stiff defense
You can't attribute the Titans losing as many games as they have to their defense. Tennessee ranks No. 1 in total defense and passing defense. They're also third in yards per play allowed and 11th against the run. However, they're allowing a handful of points, as opponents are averaging 26.6 PPG (26th). This speaks to their struggles in the red zone, as the Titans are 26th in this category.
Look out for...
Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. The Chargers' interior offensive line has struggled this season, and Simmons can give them fits. Simmons generated a season-high seven pressures and a sack on 37 pass rushes in Week 9 against the Patriots, including three pressures in under 2.5 seconds.
