WEEK 4 · FINAL

Titans edge Ravens by 3
Tennessee outlasted Baltimore 24-21 in Week 4, with Wan'Dale Robinson's 3 touchdown catches proving the difference despite the Ravens' offensive dominance. Lamar Jackson completed 25 of 43 passes for 241 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Baltimore outgained Tennessee 309 to 263 in total yards, but the Titans' ground game (128 yards) and Robinson's three scoring grabs secured the win. Baltimore's pass-heavy approach (73 percent attempts) couldn't overcome Tennessee's pressure, which generated 3 sacks to Baltimore's 1.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titans | -12.1 | -2.3 | -9.8 | -9 |
| Ravens | -12.0 | -11.4 | -0.7 | +2 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.
Full table.
IN THE BOOTH
Daniel Keller
The numbers guy
Wan'Dale Robinson caught 3 touchdown passes on 6 catches, which is a conversion rate that doesn't require a defense to exist—Baltimore's pressure numbers look fine until you realize they generated just 1 sack against a team that ran 73% pass plays from a QB who completed 58% of them.

Lamar Jackson's best day of the season still wasn't enough—that's the weight of a 3-6 record, and it's why Baltimore's afternoon stings worse than the scoreboard suggests.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
