The Titans’ Offensive Line Faces Its Biggest Test Against Houston’s Pass Rush

The winless Tennessee Titans host the winless Houston Texans in an AFC South matchup highlighted by Tennessee's offensive line facing Houston's potent pass rush. Houston enters the game ranked third in the NFL with 14 sacks, led by edge rusher Will Anderson's 4.5 sacks and 11 quarterback hits. Protecting quarterback Cam Ward will be essential if Tennessee hopes to earn its first victory of the season.

Tennessee's offensive line has surrendered only six sacks through four games, with left tackle JC Latham allowing zero sacks or hits. However, the Titans allow 10.3 pressures per game and face interior pressure from Texans defensive linemen Sheldon Rankins and Tommy Togiai. Center Austin Schlottmann, guard Peter Skoronski, and backup Atonio Mafi must hold the pocket firm while Fernando Carmona Jr. remains sidelined with an ankle sprain.
