The Tennessee Titans will be looking for their seventh win in eight games when they take on Arizona this Sunday. This contest will mark the first of three straight games against NFC competition for the Titans, who have battled AFC foes in their last nine contests. Marcus Mariota could reach a noteworthy milestone Sunday.
The Titans’ quarterback could improve his record as a starter to 20-19, which would push him over .500 for the first time since the very first game of his NFL career. That may not necessarily sound like much, but it’s impressive considering how bad the Titans were during Mariota’s first season (2015), when he went 3-9 as a rookie starter.
Since then, Mariota’s guided the Titans to a 16-10 mark. His 16 wins as a starter over the last two seasons are tied with New Orleans’ Drew Brees for ninth-best in the league during that stretch. Mariota has more wins as a starter over the last two seasons than Carolina’s Cam Newton, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, Detroit’s Matt Stafford and Baltimore’s Joe Flacco among others.
