Behind The Numbers:  Breaking down the Ravens and the Titans

The Ravens and Titans have had their fair share of closely fought brawls dating back to the days of the AFC Central Division. The games almost always boiled down to a pivotal play or two to separate the former rivals on the scoreboard. Judging from what we witnessed back in October when these two physical teams clashed, there’s little reason to think that Saturday’s Divisional Playoff Game will be any different.

 

Don’t think so?

 

Then take a close look at the numbers below.  You’d be hard pressed to find two teams that are more similar.  BTN predicts déjà vu all over again – another low scoring, hard hitting game decided by less than a touchdown.
