NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans have a quarterback in Marcus Mariota who stared at the sidelines, letting valuable fourth-quarter time tick away after a failed fourth-down attempt at drawing the opponent offside – surprise – did not work.
They’ve got a coach in Mike Vrabel who let that scenario unfold while sitting on three timeouts, letting the clock burn with his team behind.
They’ve got a receiver in Tajae Sharpe who had a first-down catch in his hands with space to fall forward or even run for additional yardage, who inexplicably chose to move backward and surrender a new set of downs. (And then is incapable of being accountable for it after the game.)
