Tennessee's first win of the season came from its defense and special teams. The Titans trailed Indianapolis 13-0 at halftime, scored 20 points in the fourth quarter, and won 26-20 on the strength of six sacks, two interceptions, and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Cleveland is 4-2, and Tennessee is 1-5. Over those six games, the Browns have been outscored by 16 points and the Titans by 45. Last week the Browns beat Baltimore 13-10 on a field goal as time expired. Cleveland's schedule has been full of games that close this tightly. Deshaun Watson has been sacked a league-high 24 times, which is 4.0 a game. Jeffery Simmons and Jermaine Johnson II each had two sacks against the Colts. The Browns' offense averages 173.5 passing yards and converts 30.8% of its third downs. Stalled drives mean Cleveland gives the ball back before it builds any kind of cushion. Cam Ward has 998 passing yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions. He doesn't have to carry the game when Tennessee's defense is the unit creating the short fields. I'm on Tennessee with the points on Sunday, because Cleveland's most-sacked offensive line meets the pass rush that produced six sacks last week.
