Is Marcus Mariota to blame for Titans' woes? It's complicated

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Two weeks ago it seemed Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was turning the corner and elevating his status as a signal-caller. His excellence as a passer showed in the Titans' Week 4 26-23 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mariota made a big-time throw to wideout Taywan Taylor on fourth-and-15 and capped the performance with a perfect touch pass to receiver Corey Davis for the winning score in overtime.

The Titans haven't been in the end zone since. Two losses and eight ugly quarters of offensive football later, Mariota and the offense are searching for answers after a 21-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens -- the first time Tennessee has been shutout at Nissan Stadium.
