NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Before he finished off a an 8-yard run against the Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota froze veteran linebacker Thomas Davis with a pump fake.
Against the Raiders, he confused D.J. Hayden and slipped by the cornerback by faking a lateral to a well-paced Harry Douglas before continuing the run for 13 yards then actually pitching to Douglas, who went for 8 more.
Mariota is a weapon on the run, and a pump fake or a fake pitch make him even more dangerous.
