I have talked a lot recently about Zach Mettenberger, because this is a huge spot for him on national television against a good (but not great) team. Many will take this chance to take shots at Marcus Mariota if Mettenberger has a big game, but there is a chance that this is a huge spot for the Titans.

Not only does the team have a chance to sit Mariota and let the franchise quarterback get healthy, but there is also another advantage. This is the perfect time to start building hype for a trade at the deadline this year, and Mettenberger’s stock isn’t going to get much better if he has a good outing against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend.
