Tennessee Titans –
So maybe they take a few liberties with the rules of the game; they're making plays on defense (a league-high 16 sacks), and when they actually field the ball they're making plays in the return game as well.
Minnesota Vikings –
This was supposed to be an elite unit, but trading away their return man in the preseason started the ball rolling the wrong way. Maybe a revised sack dance from Jared Allen will turn the tide. At this juncture, we'd settle for a sack from Jared Allen.
