“The danger is taking someone lightly”, Rivera said.

On Sunday at Nissan Stadium, the Titans (2-6) can take another huge step in the healing process.
“It would take two (injuries) to have Charlie have to play, and he would be inactive this weekend anyhow”. You saw it with Campbell and you saw it with Mike Mularkey on Sunday.
They focus on the next game because it’s the most important one, they say.
SERIES HISTORY: 4th regular-season meeting. Titans lead series, 3-0.
“We knew we were going to drive down the field and score”, Andrews said.
“It’s one thing to be running around here with the guys, but it’s another thing to be activated. It’s a great feeling”, Cobb said. They’ll be looking for a third consecutive one after Christmas. He should, however, get a full role on special teams.
Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott hadn’t delved too deep into his film study of Mariota as of early Monday afternoon, but said he had the utmost respect for the former OR standout.
“It’s nearly like we like torturing ourselves.” tight end Greg Olsen said after the game. “We’re talking about just the fundamentals”. We moved him to guard and then moved Byron back out to a natural position for him. And it turned out to be good.
So Oher was going to be no better, right?
The rest of the NFL’s quarterbacks have managed only four such games all season, according to STATS.
“They won (Sunday) so I think they’ve got a few ammo to go into this game”.
Carolina’s next four opponents – Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints – all are below.
And they have winnable games ahead, at least on paper. Mariota had sat out the previous two games thanks to a knee injury suffered after a low hit against the Miami Dolphins.
Ep. 8: Titan’s Jason McCourty and Wesley Woodyard answer the question about who the shyest guy is in the Titans locker room.
Carolina Panthers players have been given a lot of Mondays off following a victory, a day to sleep in, relax and get their minds off football.
-The Saints are one challenge, the unbeaten Panthers are quite another. However, he made the right choice and grabbed a franchise QB. Houston isn’t very good. They enter the week as the league’s fifth-best road scoring offense, dropping an average of 28 points per away game on opposing defenses. But he isn’t the only star in their front seven.
Could the Panthers be in for a let-down game in Nashville this week? Warmack said it’s hard to believe that Mariota is just a rookie.
The Titans’ wide receivers have a nice remaining strength of schedule, as well.
He is still getting healthy but should help this week and even more the week after. The rookie is calm, cool and collected under fire, as he already has 13 TD passes to just five interceptions.
OFFENSIVE ROOKIE IN THE FIRST HALF: Who else?
The first-round pick appears mature beyond his years. They played with an energy that they were lacking under Ken Whisenhunt.
Gallik was the center on an offensive line that for once kept Marcus Mariota upright and kept his jersey clean. His four interceptions are tied for the NFC lead while his 13 pass deflections are tied for the second-most in the NFL.

Mariota on Wednesday was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Sunday’s 34-28 overtime win against the Saints. The run game and whatever improvement it makes should be interesting over the second half of the season. Expect the Titans defense to restrict Carolina’s passing game. Tennessee’s defense is better than most people give it credit for, but the secondary is banged up and vulnerable.
