Inside the Game: Rookie Mariota excels for Titans in defeat

INSIDE THE GAME

Hays Carlyon

When Tennessee eventually surrounds quarterback Marcus Mariota with a competent supporting cast, the Jaguars defense must be much better.

The Titans have a quarterback. One that could dominate the Jaguars unless tremendous strides are made.

That was evident as Mariota ran for a touchdown and did not commit a turnover in a 19-13 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night at EverBank Field. The rookie has now played four road games without throwing an interception.

Mariota, as a rookie, is by far the best offensive player Tennessee has finishing 22-of-35 passing for 231 yards.
