Lack of perimeter plays helping stall Titans offense

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans inability to throw effectively to the boundaries makes them pretty predictable to defenses.

This scatter plot shows all of Marcus Mariota’s throws this season -- denoting where a ball came down, now how far a target may have taken it.

CHART

I looked at all the passes beyond five years to either sideline.

Mariota is 6-for-17 for 98 yards on those passes, with no touchdowns, an interception and a 31.0 passer rating.

Successful deep shots to the sidelines help keep defenses honest and make them cover the entire field.
