This is also part of the problem for TEN. The Titans defense doesn't generate a lot of pressure with their down four DL. In fact, they rank near the bottom of the league in QB knockdowns (31st), QB knockdown % (32nd), Pressures( 17th), pressure % (24rd), etc.
For TEN to generate pressure and a pass rush they have to send extra defenders. While covering Kelce (needs to be doubled even with a tweaked hammy), and Hill. So single up Watkins? LB on Damien? Hardman? That's 7 defenders to cover our five receivers. On just about every single snap. Can the TEN DL generate a consistent rush? If they can't, Pat will dice your defense up quickly. And on Sunday, Pat will be able to run as well.
Good luck with that.
