The Tennessee signal caller threw a pair of costly interceptions in the loss that weren’t completely his fault.
“Both those plays are on me”, Mariota said. “We were not where we were supposed to be”.

The Titans’ run game came to life in the third quarter as Antonio Andrews pounded his way up the soggy field. Looking deeper into the Titans offense and you discover that the tight end position in general has accounted for nearly half of their offensive production. “He knows how to not take sacks, throw the ball out of bounds when need be”.
Luckily for Mariota, the Raiders’ defense is ranked near the bottom of the league in both yards and points allowed. And as it turns out, their offense is pretty good, too.

“I don’t see anywhere where it says you have to run a certain amount of times or throw a certain amount of times, ” Del Rio said. The fact his team lost the game was a crushing blow for the Raiders, given how bad the Lions have been this year.
