INDIANAPOLIS -- John Fassel is extremely popular among Titans players. The artificial playing surface at Nissan Stadium is not.
Those are the big results of the team's report card in the NFLPA's annual survey, done by players of each of the league's 32 teams. The league recently won a grievance against the players' union and was forbidden from releasing it publicly.
But Kalyn Kahler got the data and ESPN published it.
Here's a three-year scorecard for the Titans, including six new categories for which there were not grades in 2024 and 2025.
Each year's grades are for the previous season.
The new Nissan Stadium opens in 2027 and is supposed to have the best new variant of artificial turf. The current stadium went to a synthetic surface in 2023.
