The bond between Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Ryan Tannehill and Marcus Mariota grew stronger and stronger as the 2019 season progressed.
Even after getting benched in Week 6 and officially losing his starting job in Week 7, Mariota remained a great teammate to Tannehill, and, as head coach Mike Vrabel explained, No. 8 showed great leadership in how he handled the situation.
From that moment, Mariota was a huge help to the Titans in practice and to Tannehill in preparing for games. In fact, Tannehill praised Mariota for his professionalism and help after the benching.
