Titans look to Continue Winning Streak
The Titans’ last three victories have come at the expense of three other AFC North clubs. In consecutive order, they defeated the Cleveland Browns (October 22nd), Baltimore Ravens (November 5th) and Cincinnati Bengals (November 12th). Last week, the Titans used a late fourth-quarter drive led by quarterback Marcus Mariota to beat the Bengals by a final score of 24-20. The Titans never trailed until 5:03 remained on the clock in the fourth quarter, when Andy Dalton’s 70-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green put the Bengals ahead 20-17. ![]() Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (8) is knocked out of bounds by Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones (24) as he dives for the goal line during the first half at Nissan Stadium. (Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports) Mariota took charge, engineering a 12-play, 73-yard march that culminated with his seven-yard touchdown pass to running back DeMarco Murray on third-and-goal with 36 seconds remaining. Mariota was credited with his seventh career game-winning drive and his third in the last four games. Murray added his name to a list that includes Billy Cannon (twice), George Amundson, Chris Johnson (twice) and Dave Smith. Defensively, the Titans limited the Bengals to 10 percent on third down and 53 rushing yards. Also, outside linebacker Derrick Morgan became the first Titans player to record two opponent fumble recoveries in a single game since linebacker Colin McCarthy in 2011 (December 4th at Buffalo).
