PFF stats show Titans’ Kristian Fulton shined again in Week 3

Just in case the old eye test wasn’t enough for you to see how good Tennessee Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton was in Week 3, may we present to you some stats from Pro Football Focus that drive that point home.

Fulton notched the highest PFF grade among all Titans defenders in the win over the Colts with an 81.0. Furthermore, Fulton was targeted six times during the contest and allowed just one catch for five yards.

Of those six targets, two came against Colts No. 1 wideout, Michael Pittman Jr., who failed to record a catch versus Fulton. The LSU product tallied one pass break-up in that matchup as well.

After three weeks, Fulton has allowed five catches on 18 targets for 88 yards and one touchdown, but even those impressive numbers are inflated since PFF put the 68-yard touchdown catch by Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Freddie Swain on Fulton in Week 2.

Without that play, Fulton has allowed four catches on 17 targets for 20 yards; just sick numbers. It appears the Titans have something very special in their 2020 second-round pick.

Before we get to the Titans’ top-five PFF grades on both sides of the ball, here’s a look at some other stats courtesy of PFF (H/T John Glennon, Broadway Sports):

-Of Derrick Henry’s 113 rushing yards, 84 of them came after contact. Of Ryan Tannehill’s career-high 56 rushing yards, 27 came after contact.

-When blitzed, Tannehill completed 5-of-6 passes for 47 yards. When not blitzed, he was 13-of-21 for 150 yards, with three touchdowns and two picks. On play-action, Tannehill completed 8-of-11 throws for 98 yards and one touchdown, which was good for a 130.1 quarterback rating.

-This isn’t a PFF stat, but noteworthy nonetheless: the Titans had a -3 turnover differential on Sunday but still won. Teams with a -3 turnover differential are 19-202-1 over the past five years (H/T Mike Herndon).

Now, the top grades:
