NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Through 15 career starts, Marcus Mariota's glaring weakness is turnovers.
He’s thrown 14 interceptions and lost eight fumbles. On a young team trying to climb out of the NFL’s basement, it’s a big part of why they are still waiting on the elevator.
In three games this season, his turnover issue has gone well beyond that of his rookie year. He’s thrown four touchdown passes to go with four interceptions and two lost fumbles.
“I think it's a combination of a lot of things,” coach Mike Mularkey said. “I would like to see our receivers help him out and make some plays on contested balls, like I see across the way.
