Titans-Saints Supplemental Notes FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 19, 2019 TITANS-SAINTS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES TITANS-SAINTS FEATURES NFL’S TOP TWO PASSERS: This Sunday’s contest between the Titans and Saints features the NFL’s top- ranked passers in 2019. Saints quarterback Drew Brees leads the league with a passer rating of 115.3, while Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is second with a 114.6 passer rating. Since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978, this is the first Week 16 or Week 17 matchup featuring two starting quarterbacks with a passer rating of 114.0 or greater. Previously, the latest week into the season it happened was Week 15 of 2018, when Kansas City Chiefs signal caller Patrick Mahomes (115.2) went up against the Los Angeles Chargers and Philip Rivers (114.5). Brees and Tannehill are putting together two of the best passer ratings in NFL history for a single season. If they ended the year with their current numbers, Brees’ 115.3 passer rating would finish seventh all-time, while Tannehill’s 114.6 would be ninth. Brees (75.8) and Tannehill (71.5) are also ranked first and second, respectively, in completion percentage in 2019. In yards per attempt, Tannehill’s 9.5-yard average leads the league, while Brees’ 7.9-yard average is tied for 10th place. NFL’s leading passers in 2019 (passer rating): Player Comp Att Pct Yards Yards/Att TD Int Rating 1. Drew Brees 235 310 75.8 2,447 7.9 21 4 115.3 2. Ryan Tannehill 171 239 71.5 2,272 9.5 17 6 114.6 3.

During his first campaign in New Orleans, he had a 96.2 passer rating. At the time, it was the fourth-highest season passer rating in NFL history by a veteran quarterback in his first year with a new team. Thirteen years later, Ryan Tannehill is setting a new standard for veteran signal callers in a new environment. Tannehill, who was acquired in a trade after seven years with the Miami Dolphins, has a passer rating of 114.6. No quarterback has ever finished with a passer rating that high in his first season with a new team after playing at least one year with another team. In 2009, Brett Favre’s 107.2 passer rating with the Minnesota Vikings became the best figure in league annals by a veteran in his first campaign with a new club.

Drew Brees 2006 New Orleans San Diego 96.2 BROWN GOING FOR FIFTH 100-YARD GAME: In last week’s game against the Houston Texans, Titans rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown totaled a career-high eight receptions for 114 yards and one touchdown. Brown became the first Titans player with consecutive 100-yard receiving games since wide receiverNate Washington accomplished the feat in 2013, and he recorded his fourth total 100-yard game of 2019. The last rookie for the franchise to have four or more 100-yard receiving games was Ernest Givins (four) in 1986. With one more 100-yard receiving game, Brown will become the franchise’s second all-time rookie with five 100-yard efforts. Bill Groman had nine such performances in 1960, the inaugural season for the Oilers. Among all players—rookies and veterans—Brown is in line to join six other players for the franchise who have had at least five 100-yard receiving games in a season. The last Titan to accomplish the feat was Drew Bennett in 2004. The others were Groman (1960, 1961), Charlie Hennigan (1961, 1963, 1964), Charley Frazier (1966), Tim Smith (1984) and Drew Hill (1987). Most 100-yard receiving games in a rookie season, franchise history: Rookie Year 100-Yard Games 1. Bill Groman 1960 9 2. A.J. Brown 2019 4 Two Games Remaining Ernest Givins 1986 4 Jerry LeVias 1969 4 5. (six tied) 2 Additionally, Brown can become the first NFL rookie with five 100-yard receiving games since Amari Cooper with the Oakland Raiders in 2015. From the 1970 AFL-NFL merger through 2018, only six rookie pass catchers were able to reach the mark. Odell Beckham Jr. registered a record seven 100-yard receiving performances as a rookie with the New York Giants in 2014. Cooper, Keenan Allen (2013), T.Y. Hilton (2012), Julio Jones (2011) and Anquan Boldin (2003) all had five. Most 100-yard receiving games by a rookie, 1970–present: Player Year Team 100-Yard Games 1.

On Tuesday he was honored with his first career Pro Bowl selection. Henry ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards and first in rushing attempts. He is tied for eighth in rushing average (4.9), tied for third in rushing touchdowns, and ranks third in total touchdowns (15). Henry also leads all running backs with 38 rushing attempts of at least 10 yards in 2019. Only Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (43) has more, and Henry has at least one run of 10 or more yards in 13 of his 14 games this season. Since the beginning of the 2018 campaign, Henry’s 68 total rushing attempts of 10-plus yards rank second behind Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s 72 such carries. Most rushing attempts of at least 10 yards in 2019: Player Team 10+ Yard Runs 1. Lamar Jackson (QB) Baltimore Ravens 43 2. Derrick Henry Tennessee Titans 38 3. Nick Chubb Cleveland Browns 37 4. Ezekiel Elliott Dallas Cowboys 31 5. Leonard Fournette Jacksonville Jaguars 30 Chris Carson Seattle Seahawks 30 7. Christian McCaffrey Carolina Panthers 29 8. Dalvin Cook Minnesota Vikings 25 Joe Mixon Cincinnati Bengals 25 Josh Jacobs Oakland Raiders 25 In the last 29 seasons (1991–present) for the Titans organization, Henry’s 38 carries of at least 10 yards are tied for the second-highest single-season total. Eddie George also totaled 38 in 1998, surpassed only by Chris Johnson’s 49 runs of 10-plus yards during his 2,006-yard rushing season of 2009. Most rushing attempts of at least 10 yards in a season by a Titans/Oilers player, 1991–present: Player Season 10+ Yard Runs 1. Chris Johnson 2009 49 2. Derrick Henry 2019 38 Two games remaining Eddie George 1998 38 4. Chris Johnson 2010 37 5. Eddie George 2000 36 Chris Johnson 2008 36 7. Lorenzo White 1992 35 8. Eddie George 1999 33 9. Chris Brown 2004 32 DeMarco Murray 2016 32 KERN MAKING HIS MARK IN THIRD PRO BOWL SEASON: Titans punter Brett Kern was named to his third consecutive Pro Bowl this week. He currently leads the NFL in punts placed inside the 20 (34), while he also is tied for second place in net punting average (43.6) and ranks fourth in the NFL (first in the AFC) in gross punting average (47.5). Kern is the NFL’s only punter in the top five of all three categories. With his current numbers, Kern’s 47.5-yard gross average in 2019 would rank third all-time for the franchise. His 43.6-yard net average would rank second for the franchise and tie for the 10th-best figure in NFL history.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 11, 2020 TITANS-COLTS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES SIMMONS MAKING PLAYS: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons earned his first AFC Defensive Player of the Week award after helping to produce a pair of takeaways during last Sunday’s win against the Chicago Bears. In the third quarter, he forced a fumble that resulted in a 63-yard touchdown return by Titans cornerback Desmond King II, and he added a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter. Simmons, who also batted down a pass against the Bears, increased his totals in his second NFL season to two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. In six of the seven games he has played this season—he missed one contest while on the reserve/COVID-19 list—he has either a sack, a pass defensed, a forced fumble or a fumble recovery. Simmons is one of only three NFL defensive linemen this season with a minimum of two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season. DERRICK BROOKS Linebacker 1991-94 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame WALTER JONES Offensive Tackle 1995-96 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame 138 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME They never played on the same team at Florida State, but Jones distinctly remembers how excited he was to follow in the footsteps of the star linebacker whom he called the face of the Seminoles’ program. Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.
