Keeping Up With Marcus Mariota: Week 12, 2018

For the second straight week, that sucked.

The Texans crushed the Titans 34-17 in a game where the Titans took a 10-0 lead to start things. But Houston outscored Tennessee 34-7 the rest of the way in what was easily the worst coaching job the Titans had all season.

The ESPN Monday Night Football crew put some blame on Marcus Mariota for what they considered to be “empty stats,” which was not well received by Titans fans at all. I do think they had a point: While Mariota was 22/23 for 303 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, we rarely saw the Titans rip the ball downfield—it was a largely conservative affair—and raw stats can look good even in blowout losses.
