Key categories: Titans 32nd on third down

Where the Tennessee Titans stand in key categories after Week 4 in the NFL.

Points scored and points allowed are obviously the most important stats. Third-down effectiveness is giant, too.

This week’s developments show the Titans bottoming out in third-down efficiency on offense.

They ranked 31st after three games, and after converting 1-of-9 in Indianapolis, they aren’t just the worst third-down offense in the league; the Titans are converting at a 26 percent clip. The 31st-ranked Raiders (33 percent) are outperforming Tennessee by 7 percent.

That’s an awfully big gap between worst and second to worst.

Cleveland’s defense is allowing conversions 40.5 percent of the time on third down.
