Tennessee Titans fans have waited through four preseason games and well into the regular season to get a good look at rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota in a designed run play. That ended in the Titans 14-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium.
We have seen Mariota take off to escape the pass rush and pick up a first down or scamper out of bounds, but until Sunday we have not seen a play thats designed to take advantage of his legs.
The Titans were finding it tough to run the ball against the NFL’s number three ranked run defense that includes Mario Williams, Marcel Darius, Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes not to mention the rest of the Buffalo Bills front seven.
