From the article

Tony Pollard averaged 5.0 yards per carry against the Jets, totaling 35 yards on seven attempts, but because the offense couldn't sustain drives, only one of those attempts resulted in a first down. This week, the Titans play the Eagles, who held all three Commanders running backs to fewer than 4.0 yards per carry and kept them out of explosive runs.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Pollard faces Eagles' stout run defense with unclear backfield split and weak Titans offense.

Risky start in Week 2 vs. Philadelphia Eagles. Despite 51% snap rate and 60% early-down rate in Week 1, Pollard averaged only 5.0 yards per carry (35 yards on 7 attempts) with just one first down, as Tennessee's offense ranked 27th in passing EPA and couldn't sustain drives. Eagles held all three Commanders running backs to fewer than 4.0 yards per carry and kept them out of explosive runs. Backfield split between Pollard and Tyjae Spears (also 51% snaps, 43% early-down rate) isn't clear enough for volume alone to overcome poor offensive context.
