Recap: Tajae Sharpe Jersey , 27-20 What an absolutely dreadful day of football for the Tennessee Titans. The Titans lost to the Miami Dolphins — and it took over seven hours to get that result. Marcus Mariota, Delanie Walker and Taylor Lewan exited this one with injuries. It could not have gone worst. Here’s how it all went down.The first drive was a success for the Titans, but they were unable to cash in an early touchdown. A nice mix of Derrick Henry and Corey Davis put Tennessee into Miami territory early. Mariota uncorked one deep to Taywan Taylor, but the second year receiver was unable to make the catch despite an accurate pass. Ryan Succop did get the Titans on the board, however, bringing the lead to 3-0. Tennessee got a stop on their first defensive series, then the rain came. Even legitimate monsoon conditions couldn’t stop the Titans between the twenties early, as Marcus Mariota manufactured another drive deep into Miami territory. A big pass to Luke Stocker for 31 yards put the Titans at the goal line once again. Mike Vrabel chose to go for it on 4th down from the three yard line, targeting Corey Davis in the flats. Davis was tackled short, turning the ball over on downs. That stop by the Dolphins seemed to get the momentum going in their favor. A few nice runs by Frank Gore — complete with a ridiculous unnecessary roughness penalty — put the Dolphins in the redzone. Ryan Tannehill completed the drive with an out route to Kenny Stills, who got into the endzone. Just like the Titans, the Dolphins got a stop on the next drive then opted to go for a fourth a one inside of their own redzone. Just like the Titans, they didn’t get it. Mariota took over with 1:55 to play, but lightning in the area forced a delay. After a two hour delay, the Titans sat on the ball and punted Authentic Ryan Succop Jersey , taking us to halftime in a 7-3 game.On the first drive of the second half, Marcus Mariota got his throwing hand popped after a read option attempt. Mariota was forced to leave the game, but only missed one snap. On the following drive, Mariota threw a pick — and chaos broke loose. The benches cleared after Taylor Lewan was blindsided on the interception return. Lewan left for the locker room after the play, clearly shaken up. After all the dust settled, the Dolphins were left in a really good spot. Tannehill hit Mike Gesicki and Danny Amendola to set up shot inside the ten yard line. However, Tannehill was picked off by Malcolm Butler on the goal line to end the drive. At that time, storms rolled in once more for our second weather delay of the day. It was another long delay with the game finally resuming at 6 PM central. Offensive coordinator Matt Lafleur dialed up a screen pass to get things going, but Mariota floated it too high. The ball was picked off — Mariota’s second of the day. The Tennessee defense minimized the damage though, holding the Dolphins to a field goal. 10-3 Miami was the new score. Apparently, Mariota’s injury was bothering him too much to continue. He was listed as questionable to return with an elbow injury. Blaine Gabbert entered the game, handing off to Dion Lewis, who flipped the field immediately for Tennessee. Gabbert hit a big pass to Corey Davis over the middle to get to the three, then Dion Lewis punched it in for the Titans’ first touchdown of the year. Just like that, it was a 10-10 game — and then it wasn’t. Jakeem Grant took the following kickoff back for a touchdown Youth Quinton Spain Jersey , giving the Dolphins the lead right back. The Titans got the ball back and fed Derrick Henry, who broke off a 64 yard touchdown run — only to have it called back for a holding penalty. Gabbert was unable to generate anything after that, forcing another Brett Kern punt. Miami stayed aggressive, taking a shot to Kenny Stills. Stills hauled it in, bringing the lead to 14 points. It was Malcolm Butler who was beaten deep. Incredibly enough, Darius Jennings took the following kick back for six, getting the Titans right back into this one. Kenny Vaccaro picked off Tannehill on another deep attempt on the following drive, giving Gabbert a shot to go tie the game. After a few successful Lewis runs, Gabbert was picked off. It looked like a miscommunication with Delanie Walker. The interception was returned all the way down to the Titans’ 12 yard line. Kamalei Correa came up with a huge sack on second down, putting Miami in a field goal situation. The Dolphins converted that attempt, bringing it back to a two possession game. On the very first play of the next drive, Delanie Walker made a catch and immediately went down with a lower leg injury. It was a right ankle injury that looked pretty serious. He was carted off the field.The Titans went turned the ball over on down shortly after. Gabbert was able to get one more chance and put something together, at least enough to get the Titans a field goal. Ryan Succop nailed it, to bring it back to a one score game. The onside kick attempt could not be recovered, however. Final score: Dolphins 27 Kevin Byard Jersey , Titans 20 Buckle up, because the Titans are a win away from making it back to the playoffs for the second year in a row, and the fate of their season rests on NBC at home against the Colts for the final regular season game of the year.Unfortunately, it’s not clear if Tennessee will be with Marcus Mariota or not. Mariota suffered a stinger that kept him out of the entire second half against the Redskins on Saturday. That’s a shame because I thought he gave his best performance since the Monday Night game against the Texans. In a season where the fourth-year starter has taken many injuries, this one comes at the worst time.In the first half against Washington, Mariota completed 10 of 13 passes for 110 yards (about 8.5 yards per attempt). There isn’t a big sample to draw from, but Mariota played well on Saturday, so let’s check his performance out in this week’s edition of Keeping Up With Marcus Mariota.gamepass.nfl.comClearly, this was Mariota’s best play of the game. I’ve mentioned in the past how I think his pocket passing stands out more than his athleticism, but he’s proven he’s a capable scrambler time after time. The best part of the play is the Tony Romo-esque spin he gives to avoid the two Skins pass rushers as he just barely makes it across the first down marker.gamepass.nfl.comOn this play, Mariota looks off the right middle of the field to clear an opening for Taywan Taylor on 3rd and long. Mariota’s ability to quickly cycle through his progressions is part of what’s made him such a viable player during his professional career, and he displays that here. The throw isn’t to a tight window, but I love how quickly Mariota processes the open receiver, and his timing to Taylor is perfect.Sadly, Mariota was also sacked two times http://www.titansauthorizedshops.com/authentic-austin-johnson-jersey , the latter of which kept him out of the game, forcing Blaine Gabbert to hold the fort.gamepass.nfl.comIt really does you quarterback no good when all of your receiving options are on one side of the field and are easily covered. Mariota appears to have his eyes on the shallow crosser, but decides against it and gets popped.gamepass.nfl.comOn the stinger injury, the left side of the offensive line completely breaks down and Mariota doesn’t react in time. The Titans limited the hits on Mariota the previous three weeks, but the injury came at the wrong time, which sucks.It’s bittersweet, but Marcus Mariota was connecting throughout and put together a nice performance. I do understand the concerns of Titans fans with paying for a guy who gets injured this much, but at the same time I don’t know how good this team would be without him. He’s not even on pace to hit 3,000 passing yards and yet I feel Mariota is vital to the success of this team.Either way, here’s hoping Mariota’s stinger heals in time for Week 17, because a playoff spot is on the line.
