Patriots clinch first-round bye with 33-16 win over Titans
Mariota left Sunday’s game in the second quarter with a right knee injury.

According to our sister station WKRN in Nashville, Tennessee, rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota will not play Sunday against Houston, but his season is not over yet, according to head coach Mike Mularkey.
From there, the Titans would get no closer than 11 points, as they struggled to sustain scoring drives following a second-quarter knee injury to starting quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Chargers 30, Dolphins 14: Danny Woodhead had his first career four-touchdown game, and Philip Rivers recovered a fumble on a play that began with him throwing an interception in what might have been the final National Football League game in San Diego.
He stood on the sideline wearing his helmet, did not return to the game.
New England responded immediately, capitalizing on Keshawn Martin’s 75-yard kickoff return by scoring a touchdown two plays later. Meanwhile, the defense plays at a very high, perhaps championship level, and keeps the team in games while the rest of the team struggles by comparison. Regardless of the perineal injury woes, Patriots are 12-2 for the season.
Brady finished 23 of 35 passing for 267 yards and two touchdowns and a Brady-esque rating of 107.7. The support we get is awesome. Walker broke the Titans’ franchise record for receiving yards by a tight end (935 yards) and catches by a tight end (76 catches). The three of them combined for 93 rushing yards and nine catches for 89 receiving yards and one touchdown. Unable to move – and again giving up a third-down sack of Mariota – they settled for a 49-yard field goal by Succop that helped them avoid the fate of their previous trip to New England, a 59-0 shutout in 2009. That victory, combined with a 34-27 Denver Broncos loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers later in the day, means the Patriots have clinched a first-round bye for this season’s AFC playoffs.
NFL.com’s Conor Orr reports that Mariota is out for the season and backup quarterback Zach Mettenberger will start.
“I wanted to go back in right away”, he said.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport first noted the possibility of Mariota sitting out the remaining two games.
Mariota ends his rookie season with solid numbers, though his protection leaves more than a little to be desired.
Late in the fourth quarter, linebacker Jamie Collins ran 51 yards with a deflected interception.
Notes: Brady was listed as questionable with an illness on Friday, but he started and played the whole game….
