Titans Pass D On Pace For Record

Did you know that the Titans have only surrendered only one passing touchdown this season? Well it's true as SI.com's Kerry J. Byrne points out in his article. We've also only allowed 11 points a game which is insane, but we must remember that we haven't played any real good teams so far this year. In fact, we haven't beaten anyone with a record over .500. Even though we haven't beaten anyone overly impressive, it's still amazing to think that our secondary has performed that well. Just an fyi, here's the best secondary performances in the Super Bowl era.

• The 1966 Packers won the Super Bowl behind a pass defense that surrendered 7 TD passses and picked off 28 (14 games).

• The 1970 Vikings dominated with a pass defense that surrendered six TD passes and picked off 28 (14 games).

• The 1970s Steelers won four Super Bowls behind the famous Steel Curtain defense. In their best year, the championship 1975 season, they allowed nine TD passes and picked off 27 (14 games).

• The 1985 Bears won the Super Bowl and boast one of the most famous defenses in history. They allowed 16 TD passes and picked off 34.

• The 2000 Ravens won the Super Bowl and boast the stingiest defense of the Live Ball Era (10.3 PPG). They allowed 11 TD passes and picked off 23.

• The 2002 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl behind one of the most stifling pass defenses in modern NFL history. They allowed 10 TD passes and picked off 31.

Meanwhile, the Titans are on pace to allow three TD passes and pick off 27 passes. Keep your eyes on the secondary this week as we take on the high powered Colts passing attack.
