    Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Line play has keyed the Titans' 5-0 start.
    The Titans are averaging three sacks a game and all but one of their 15 have come from linemen.
    The Titans have allowed only two sacks all season. The plus-13 differential is the league's best.
    It's a pretty telling stat.
    Of the top 11 teams in sack differential, the worst record is 3-3 (San Diego is plus-9; New Orleans is plus-7).
    The five teams who are minus-10 or worse (San Francisco, Kansas City, Detroit, New England and Cincinnati) have a combined record of 6-21.
    Kansas City could help the Titans grow the number -- the Chiefs have allowed 15 sacks in five games and have taken quarterbacks down only three times.
    These are numbers I'll keep my eye on all season.

    Glad we got 15 sacks, but i noticed the Jets have 18 sacks. we should be leading the league in sacks with the guys we have.

    the jets manufacture sacks with blitzes and schemes. the titans just rush four and drop seven and get theirs with tenacity and beating one on one blocks.
