NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Play-action Marcus Mariota is the best Marcus Mariota.
There's no better example than the first quarter of the Tennessee Titans' 23-20 win over the Ravens. The coaches drew up a great play-action pass on the opening play. Both Ravens inside linebackers took two steps toward Mariota's fake to DeMarco Murray. That was just enough for Rishard Matthews to run past them, wide open, to the deep left corner for a 29-yard reception.
Mariota found Matthews on another play-action on a first-and-10 later in the first quarter for an easy 16-yard touchdown.
