NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans are confident that this moment isn't too big for Marcus Mariota. He can handle going up against Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, they say. If anything, Mariota can show he's ready to be a fixture among the AFC playoff quarterbacks that have a chance to win anywhere.
The Titans have a chance -- yes, a slim one -- but a chance nonetheless to pull off a shocking upset in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Saturday night because of their third-year quarterback from Hawaii and what he means to his team.
