Titans’ quarterback Marcus Mariota sets new franchise record for passing yards
That’s when things started to liven up a bit. It’s nearly unheard of that out of the four stats considered relevant in this matchup, three of them play into the Raiders favor.
On Sunday, Jones caught five passes for 56 yards in the Falcons’ 20-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Tennessee needs to work to find Mariota manageable passing downs where he can get rid of the ball quickly and let his receivers make plays after the catch.
The extra point attempt was blocked to give the Titans a 6-0 lead.
Ouch: The Titans appeared to come out of the game with no serious new injuries. Hopefully that changes against the Raiders for his fantasy owners.
Instead, the Raiders scored the game-winning touchdown two plays later and ended their three-game losing streak and evened their road record at 3-3.
Midway through the third quarter in Tennessee, the Raiders had a 17-6 edge on a dreary, rain-soaked afternoon.
The Raiders still had to take advantage of the situation after being handed a first down at the Titans’ 31. Marquette King led in rushing for 47 yards. The season has been tough to watch for fans of the former Oregon Ducks Quarterback. Mariota has thrown 13 TD passes and leads all rookie QBs with a 96.1 passer rating. He missed one offensive snap. But it was a penalty flag that kept its winning drive going. “Somehow a call came from the right of where B.W. was”. Now, Tennessee isn’t exactly a cream puffs when comes to run defense; However, I also wouldn’t label them as Titans – when it comes to stopping the run.
Oakland’s mistakes helped Tennessee turn a game where the Raiders had been cruising into a frantic finish. Now is the time for young players to stand up on this Titans roster.
In the second of three games to take place on Thursday, the Carolina Panthers continued to make their case that they could potentially end the regular season with a ideal record, with a 33-14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Khalil Mack was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty that put the Titans in first and goal at the 9-yard-line. You’re in control of the game, you fumble it and all of a sudden they go down and get a score.
The Raiders got the ball back with 4:34 to play. They drove to the Tennessee 36-yard-line and were in 4th and 8. It’s too bad he’s only found the end zone in two games this season.
“He is polished, he can catch the ball really well, he runs great routes, ” Sensabaugh said of Cooper.
Carr, who has outwardly accepted responsibility for all failings and deflected any criticism directed at teammates since the day he arrived, has remained in character.
After picking up the first down on a 27-yard pass from Marcus Mariota to Delanie Walker, Mariota’s intended target Kendall Wright slipped down on his route and Nate Allen intercepted it to seal the Raiders victory.
