Marcus Mariota and Titans developing a knack for the comeback

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After being embarrassed by the Texans in Houston last Monday, Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel said it was important to get out to an early lead and control the game against the struggling New York Jets.

That didn't happen, but it still worked out for the Titans and their AFC playoff hopes. New York jumped out to a 16-0 lead, but Marcus Mariota added to his impressive comeback résumé in a 26-22 victory.

Mariota's game-winning drive was the 11th of his four-year career. That's the fifth-most in the NFL since his rookie season in 2015, and his total of seven game-winning drives since the start of the 2017 season is tied for the most in the NFL.
