Nashville, TN – A year earlier, Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill was still with the Miami Dolphins, where he concluded his seventh season with the Dolphins. Robinson engineered a trade in March 2019 that landed the signal caller in Tennessee, where he began the campaign as the backup to Marcus Mariota.
Although he did not start until the seventh game of the season, Tannehill authored one of the greatest offensive seasons in franchise history.
He completed 201 of 286 passes for 2,742 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions.
In his 13 starts, including the regular season and playoffs, the Titans went 9-4.
Winning the NFL’s passing title (passer rating), Tannehill’s 117.5 passer rating was the fourth-highest figure in NFL history and the best in franchise annals. His 9.6 yards per attempt also led the league—a full yard better than the next-closest qualifier (Matthew Stafford, 8.6)—and set a team record.
Ryan Tannehill capped his season by being named to his first career NFL Pro Bowl and taking Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors.
