Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Tim Kelly arguably called his worst game of the season in Sunday’s 19-16 overtime defeat to the Houston Texans. The Titans were overly reliant on Derrick Henry, who struggled to get anything going in the run game. Despite Tennessee’s inability to run the ball effectively on first down, Kelly continued to inexcusably hand it off to Henry on first-and-10.
I’ve charted every Titans drive. Kelly and the Titans called 12 Henry runs on 1st-and-10 (or 1st-and-goal). Those 12 runs gained the Titans offense a TOTAL of ZERO yards.
