Jaguars beat Titans in NFL
“We had a chance to win the game last night all the way through three-and-a-half quarters”, Mularkey said.
What it means: This was the Titans’ third game without Kendall Wright and their first without Justin Hunter. “He did have good success (in practice), we felt, had a lot of confidence going into it”. He applied pressure to get a good hit on the quarterback so I thought he played better than he has. This was only 56 yards less than 316 total offensive yards the Titans had by the end of the game.
“I flushed him (Mariota) out and he stepped up still looking and he had to throw the ball and he was right there and I just made the sack (tackling him from behind)”, said Branch, who played a season-high 56 snaps. “First I have to give credit to our fans – that last drive I know we felt the energy from them and to be able to get this win at home, in front of our home fans, awesome feeling”.
The good news was that the Lions finally managed to beat the Packers in the state of Wisconsin for the first time in 24 years.
But Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey – the Jaguars’ coach before Bradley – made two crucial fourth-down decisions that came back to bite his team in the end.
Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles rebounded after a poor showing the previous week in Baltimore.
Punter Bryan Anger had a very solid night on Thursday.
If they stayed to the end just for pleasure and with no dog in the hunt, I contend these are people with either questionable fantasy teams or no life. Expect the rookie to look to his security blanket early and often as they try to keep up with the Jaguars offense.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have their first winning streak in more than two years. The hilarious people of Twitter had plenty to say about what these unis reminded them of.
Kicking off the Week 11 NFL schedule on “Thursday Night Football”, we had a divisional matchup between the Titans and the Jaguars.
-SPECIAL TEAMS: A. They’ve struggled on special teams much of the year, but Rashad Greene’s 63-yard punt return set up the game-winning score. After two pass-interference calls drawn by Titans receiver Harry Douglas moved the ball 48 yards, Mariota scrambled 23 yards around the left end for the first TD of the game – and his first rushing touchdown in the National Football League – showing some real juice around the edge. Bortles’ and Mariota’s numbers were similar as both completed over 60 percent of their passes for better than 230 yards. Bortles then drove the Jaguars 84 yards – completing 4 of 6 passes for 74 yards – and hooked up with receiver Allen Hurns for a 31-yard touchdown with 2:16 to play. Well they may just find themselves back in the running as well. It was the rookie’s first career rushing touchdown and his longest run of the season. The Titans (2-7) enter the game off a Week 10 loss, 27-10, to the Carolina Panthers. “That doesn’t mean Morgan is bad or that I think of Dick LeBeau any less as a playcaller, I just think that the idea of an edge rusher covering anyone athletic is based on an older mentality where you didn’t have 6’6″ freaks running down the field with 4.5 speed. “There were little things, like Antonio (Andrews) could have given the ball to the official like we practiced and harp on instead of throwing it on the ground costing us seconds”.
