NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After the first month of the season, there was a degree of optimism around Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. In a Week 4 win over the Falcons, Mariota completed 66.7% of his passes and threw three touchdowns.
But whatever hopefulness existed in September withered when October began. Week 5's start against the Bills was a tough game for Mariota, who was sacked five times and completed 13 of 22 passes for 183 yards. And Sunday’s performance against the Broncos was one of Mariota's worst of his career.
