Overview
- Through 10 games, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has 1,146 receiving yards and a pace of roughly 2,004, which would surpass Calvin Johnson’s 1,964-yard single-season record.
- Today’s road game at Tennessee is presented as a prime chance to build on that pace based on opponent tendencies.
- The Titans have allowed 1,674 yards to wideouts, a 71.8% completion rate to the position, and 25 receptions of 20-plus yards, third most in the league.
- Tennessee’s cornerback group has turned over after L’Jarius Sneed went to injured reserve and the team traded Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Roger McCreary, leaving backups in prominent roles.
- Smith-Njigba has been held under 100 yards only three times this season, yet coverage notes the outcome today could range from under 100 to 150-plus yards given game script uncertainty.
