The Titans continue to slash their hopes with each tally added in the loss column. Marcus Mariota was already hurt once this season, after a low hit against the Miami Dolphins.

“It is crucial that the Titans find away for revive the team’s rushing attack against OLB Khalil Mack and the Raiders” defense.
“We’re trying to win”, safety Charles Woodson said.
On defensive, Dick LeBeau will dial up the heat to pressure QB David Carr and force inaccurrate throws against the Titans’ maned Secondary. Running back Dexter McCluster will not play against Oakland due to a knee injury, but wide receiver Kendall Wright is expected to return after missing three contests with a similar ailment. Hayden ranks 106th at his position, per John Glennon of the Tennessean. Counting the loss to the Raiders, the Titans have four home losses this season by a combined nine points.
The Raiders were flagged 11 times for 94 yards, with two of those penalties keeping Tennessee TD drives alive, and Carr himself set up the Titans’ go-ahead TD by fumbling a snap.
“Something has to give”, Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo said. The Raiders had gone up 19-16 on a 27-yard scoring pass from Matt McGloin to Marcel Reece. A fourth-down pass from the Tennessee 36-yard line fell incomplete, but Titans cornerback B.W. Webb was called for holding Cooper on the play.
Amari Cooper and the Raiders have fallen out of the playoff picture in the AFC but they’ll look to rebound following three straight losses when they visit the Titans at 1:00PM ET.

The offense did a much better job than they have over the last two weeks. It would feel good to get a win at home, and I know the crowd is looking for a win at home. This one jumped out to me, from a fan, about quarterback Marcus Mariota: “Mariota isn’t driven to win, Jim”. However, in sloppy conditions against a top-three defense, it’s not a poor decision. But it’s Derek Carr, now in his second year, who is probably closer to being a top-flight quarterback at the moment. The Raiders held the ball for almost 35 minutes and had a 407-249 edge in total offense.
