Young talented quarterbacks are in the spotlight for today’s Indianapolis Colts vs Tennessee Titans game on CBS Sports. Forty seconds and zing, 7-0 with 12:51 left in the first quarter.Whether or not the Colts can bring this pressure, likely from the blitz, will be determined by the health of the secondary.Now the Titans are preparing for their home opener after being one of five teams to open the season with their first two games on the road.
The Indianapolis Colts host the Jacksonville Jaguars in one of the National Football League games on Sunday, October 4, 2015 kick off time at 1:00 PM ET, at Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana.
With 47 seconds remaining, Titans fullback Jalston Fowler was stuffed on a two-point conversion try from the one-yard line. “Unfortunately, it just didn’t work”. A quarterback who has thrown eight touchdown passes, two interceptions and possesses a quarterback rating of 109.2 through three games.
The playcalling from coach Ken Whisenhunt was again solid and except for his second interception, Marcus Mariota made good decisions. On the previous play, Fowler bowled over from one-yard out.
“We’ve got to have great practice”.
The Titans found success in Week 1 of the season, traveling to Tampa Bay to get a 42-14 win over the Buccaneers.
“We got up there and there was a special look in the guys’ eyes”, Luck said.
The Titans are a better team than they were previous year. “We just didn’t get it done…in the situations where we need to be physical”. Wright scored a touchdown and rolled up 101 yards in Tennessee’s season-opening 42-14 triumph over Tampa Bay, but was limited to just two catches versus Cleveland. It’s not been an easy year for Luck, who’s now thrown seven picks in three game, and threw two ill-advised interceptions on Sunday. WR Andre Johnson did not catch a pass in the game. The Titans lost eight games by at least two touchdowns. They know they survived despite Erik Walden’s flat-out silly move to draw a personal foul by hitting Mariota to help set up the Titans’ last score.
Still, he stressed that he wasn’t hurt and said that his name would not be appearing on the team’s injury report later in the week. Mariota was sensational in the first three quarters, and with the opportunity to put the king’s of the division away for good and possibly knock them out of the division title race, Mariota crumbled in the fourth quarter when his team needed him the most. Gore finally had a big day answering his fantasy owner’s prayers behind an embarrassing Colts line.
