Source: Titans going with Ryan Tannehill over Marcus Mariota at QB

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel was desperately in need of a spark on offense and has elected to make a change at quarterback, naming Ryan Tannehill, the new starter, ESPN has confirmed.

Tuesday's move, which was first reported by NFL Network, comes after Tannehill, the former Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback, was inserted into the lineup in the third quarter against the Broncos on Sunday. Vrabel gave Tannehill a chance to make some plays against Denver due to Marcus Mariota's ineffectiveness highlighted by two interceptions.

Tannehill finished with 13 completions for 144 yards on 16 pass attempts.
