Conducting a little bit of an experiment with this discussion... when you hear the term "finesse" (typically in a derogatory manner), which teams from across the decades spring to mind?

The offense was not a finesse offense. It was literally the greatest rushing offense of all time and our OL was dominant.

The defense however was the definition of a finesse defense. They covered very well but they lived off of turnovers, all our pressure came from blitzes and our run D was soft as bread pudding. Nobody ever tested it until the playoffs bc the offense always jumped ahead to such giant leads.

True but didn’t the titans defense hold the ravens offense off for most of their he game until the ravens scored 2 tds in the 4th quarter.
