Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans: Key Halftime Stats for Tennessee

Matt Hasselbeck and the Tennessee Titans offense came to play today, but if Tennessee wants to keep their playoff hopes alive the defense is going to have to wake up.  Here are the stats that tell the story.

60: Rushing Yards Allowed

With All-Pro Arian Foster sitting out you would think the Titans could lock down the Texans running game a little better than this.

52: Rushing Yards for Chris Johnson

2012 has been an undeniably disappointing season for CJ2K. However, despite injuries and attitude problems the 53 million dollar man eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing for the fourth time in his four year NFL career.

111.7 Matt Hasselbeck’s QB Rating

Mike Munchak and company have put the season on Hasselbeck’s shoulders and he is preforming like a younger version of himself.  Hasselbeck will need to keep it up in the second half if he wants to see the post-season for the eighth time in his 12 years as an NFL starter.

1:  Forced turnovers

Matt Hasselbeck turned the only turnover of the game into seven points midway through the second quarter. In tough road games such as this one the turnover battle can make all the difference.  So far, so good.
