After losing three of their last four games, they’re hardly entering the playoffs on a high note. Marcus Mariota might have saved Mike Mularkey’s job with his second-half performance, turning a 21-3 deficit into a 22-21 win. Mariota passed for just 13 touchdowns this season, but even worse, he was picked off 15 times. Unfortunately for the Titans, the punt was kind of a stinker.

The Titans were then able to get on the board with a field goal. The run game has also struggled, with DeMarco Murray averaging 3.6 yards per carry while playing through multiple leg injuries.
