Titans QB Mariota leaves game with apparent knee injury

In the receiving end, Delanie Walker had 71 yards in seven catches while Harry Douglas added 65 yards in three catches.

New England’s remaining games of the regular season will be at the New York Jets and at the Miami Dolphins.

In the end, Brady doesn’t concern himself with personal records as it is all about the team, especially with the playoffs getting closer and closer.

Mike Mularkey prioritized protection when he took the interim job on November 3.

The quarterback has been at his best recently while targeting New England Patriots third-down back James White.

After another Gostkowski field goal, Walker scored on a 57-yard touchdown catch to cut the lead to 27-16. Running backs Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount are among those lost for the season.

He did most of his damage without wide receiver Danny Amendola at his disposal, as the slot receiver left the game with a knee injury in the first half.

Hightower returned Sunday from a two-game absence.

“So he’s been really productive in that role and has just been a – really great tribute to his hard work and commitment”.

The Patriots will host a divisional round playoff game on the weekend of January 16 and 17 at Gillette Stadium. “He’s a grinder – hard-working kid”, said coach Bill Belichick….

McCoy finished with 10 carries for 29 yards Sunday, when he was stuffed twice on runs at Washington’s 1 in the second quarter on a drive that ended with zero points.

Mettenberger was 20-of-28 for 242 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions in the contest. With only two games left – and with the Titans in position only to secure a lower pick in the draft if they win one of the last two games – they’d be wise to keep him out for the rest of the year.

Amendola, who missed the November 29 game at Denver with a left knee injury, was injured Sunday on a punt return.

“I’d say to be 12-2 is a good record”, Brady said. “I’d rather err on the side of caution”.

Chandler Jones stripped the ball from quarterback Marcus Mariota and it rolled backward, with defensive tackle Akiem Hicks recovering it in the end zone for the touchdown.

NOTES: New England rookie RB Joey Isoefa was summoned from the Patriots practice squad to be the third running back and showed power on a 15-yard run that left CB Coty Sensabaugh behind.

Another week, more injuries for New England.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski played Sunday with a heavy heart following the death of a friend. On the next play, Brady threw a swing pass to White out of the backfield, and he ran it in to make it 21-3. The team announced that his return was questionable.
