Marcus Mariota has given the Tennessee Titans franchise a reason for legitimate optimism for the first time in years.
This will not be a traditional film review, because, in my mind, Sunday was not a typical Titans performance. The focus will be exclusively on Mariota. As the season rolls on, we'll dig into other aspects of the team.
I’ve been here before. Brimming with optimism. I remember it from last year coming out of week one. The analyst in me wants to temper expectations, being that it’s just one game. Yet, this game was….different. Of course, a look at the scoreboard reinforces this point, but beyond this there was a level of execution offensively that - if we’re being totally honest - we haven’t seen in over a decade.
