Finally! Titans snap 11-game home skid, beat Jaguars 42-39

“If he keeps on working the way that he’s doing, he’s going to help us out, and win a lot of games”, Titans defensive lineman Jurrell Casey said. Those three mistakes ended up costing the Jaguars the win. “But when you give up 21 points when your defense isn’t on the field, you’re going to lose 98 percent of those games”.

“And that’s a good feeling, when your quarterback is looking at you like, ‘Don’t worry about it, we’re good.’ And we have been in a lot of cases, the way he gives us a chance to win games”.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson is brought down by Tennessee Titans safety Da’Norris Searcy (21) just short of the goal line in the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 6, 2015, in Nashville, Tenn. Those failures created an odd hole for the Jaguars to fill.

The bad snap by center Stefen Wisniewski was deplorable.

Defensively, Bowles and his staff must prepare for the pass rush of three players in particular. Titans fans were growing tired of watching a team that wasted winning opportunities during this season.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Miami intercepted a pair of deflected passes from Matt Schaub to score two touchdowns 20 seconds apart late in the first half, and held on to beat Baltimore. Myers has now missed six extra point attempts. That he backs him, that he needs to get his improve his striking and convert more times than not. Especially when you consider the other maneuvering a team has to do to make up for the miss to stay even.

Oregon State: OT Mike Remmers started for Carolina in its win over New Orleans, and DT Dwan Edwards played for the Panthers.

Rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown in a 38-7 victory at Minnesota.

The Titans took the lead through tight end Craig Stevens, who caught a 10-yard pass from Mariota for an early touchdown. Moreover, at the end of regulation the Titans forced a turnover on downs and ran out the final minutes of the game clock to seal the 42-39 victory. Instead, Antonio Andrews jumped into the endzone after another stellar drive by Mariota.

Mariota was 20 of 29, passing for 268 yards.

“I felt like I came out and executed on every route”. “Our defense made a key stop at the end and that’s all that matters”.

Bortles now has 22 TD passes this season, a franchise record topping the 23 David Garrard had in 2010.

Winston completed 18 of 27 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Oh and by the way, he failed to throw an interception in the game, so that was a 5-0 touchdown-interception ratio. Robinson became the Jaguars’ first 1,000-yard receiver in a season since Jimmy Smith in 2005…. It was not only a game-changer it was the longest touchdown run by any National Football League player this season. Caldwell spotted Myers at the National College and Pro Specialists camp in Mobile back in February and that was all she wrote. Over the same time period, the NFL’s top single-season passer rating in the red zone is 122.4 by Philadelphia’s Nick Foles in 2013 (26-37, 197 yards, 16 touchdowns, zero interceptions). He had 19 touches on Sunday and was a big part of the offense, even in the redzone.

If fantasy owners needed to win to get a spot in next week’s playoffs, picking the right quarterback was nearly mandatory. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 36 of 50 passes for 390 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Jets.

That time is likely to come Sunday against Indianapolis because head coach Gus Bradley said Tripp will start in place of Posluszny if he can’t go because of the broken right hand he suffered with 3:44 left in the Tennessee game when he tackled Marcus Mariota.
