Coaches always talk about game-wreckers. Well, Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller is one of those guys who gives offensive coordinators, offensive linemen and quarterbacks nightmares. Miller is a seven-time Pro Bowler who has 106.5 career sacks, including two this season. He’s tallied 10.5 sacks in his past 10 home games. The Titans need to give Mariota time – and they need to keep him from getting hit by Miller and Co.

The Titans offensive line will largely be responsible for protecting Mariota from Miller and others, and that’s been an iffy proposition so far this season. In five games, Mariota has been sacked 22 times, including five last week against Buffalo. Left guard Rodger Saffold beat himself up this week after a shaky start to his season, but he hasn’t been the lone ranger when it comes to having some issues. The Titans need better play across the board. Left tackle Taylor Lewan should be better in his second game, while right guard Nate Davis settles in even more.
