The standout performer had both of his team’s touchdowns against the Texans and ran for 95 yards on 25 carries in the seven-point defeat. But this is a team that continues to make too many mistakes on offense as second-year quarterback Marcus Mariota continues to experience growing pains. On Sunday at Houston, he threw his fifth interception of the young season and has committed seven of the club’s eight turnovers this season. The Titans have unfortunately already wasted a few prime defensive efforts in 2016. <p>Next Week: The Titans have dropped two straight following that comeback win at Ford Field over the Lions two weeks ago.
