Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel is going with Ryan Tannehill as the team's starting quarterback, with Marcus Mariota moving to the bench, a source confirmed to ESPN. NFL Network first reported the change.
Can confirm Ian Rapoport's report that Ryan Tannehill has been named the Titans starter vs. Chargers. Marcus Mariota has been relegated to the backup.
After a positive start to the season, Mariota's turnovers, red zone failures and lack of accuracy doomed him Sunday.
As we rank all 32 teams through six weeks, we'll identify each squad's Achilles' heel. Some are obvious, while others are subtle.
The Denver Broncos' swarming defense sent Marcus Mariota to the bench and the Tennessee Titans to their fourth loss in five games with a 16-0 win Sunday.
Trailing 13-0 and struggling to move the ball on offense, the Titans benched quarterback Marcus Mariota in favor of backup Ryan Tannehill in the third quarter against the Broncos.
Ryan Tannehill is under center.
Once again the Titans are hamstrung by an anemic offense to start a game. This week they trail the Broncos 6-0 after one half of football. Fortunately the defense showed up and held Denver to six points. Tennessee produced 82 yards on 31 plays. They've score seven points in the last six quarters of football.
Wesley Woodyard (in place of Jayon Brown) and Rashaan Evans at ILB for the #Titans to open this series.
Jayon Brown is questionable to return. Good thing is he didn't go into the locker room.
Jayon Brown laid on the ground for a second and talked to the trainers. He got up on his own after a few seconds and walked off on his own.
Jeffrey Simmons took the trip to Denver with the Titans. Can tell he's itching to get out there.
