Should the Titans’ season pan out as predicted, they would end the season at 4-12, which is not the season ender many Titans fans or Mariota fans envisioned when he was drafted second overall. “I’m just anxious about a clean shot out on him, and I think he’s smart not to take those”, Mularkey said.
