NEW ORLEANS — Tennessee rookie Marcus Mariota came back from his recent injury to derail Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
Mariota passed for 371 yards and four touchdowns, including a 5-yard scoring pass to Anthony Fasano in overtime, and Tennessee snapped a six-game skid with a 34-28 victory over New Orleans on Sunday.
The Saints (4-5), who had won three in a row, led 21-10 but could not put away the Titans (2-6), who turned in a feisty performance in their first game since coach Ken Whisenhunt was fired and replaced by Mike Mularkey.
Sunday also marked Mariota’s return from a knee sprain that sidelined him for two games.
