Nashville, TN – Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota made NFL history by becoming the first player to record four-plus touchdowns in six of his first 22 games as he led Tennessee to a 47-25 win over the Green Bay Packers at Nissan Stadium.

Mariota went 19-of-26 for 295 yards with four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 149.8 passer rating.

Murray contributed a second touchdown minutes later, this time as the passer, finding tight end Delanie Walker in the end zone.
Tight end Anthony Fasano hauled in a touchdown pass from Mariota as the Titans took a 21-0 lead in the waning seconds of the first quarter.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers put Green Bay on the board in the second quarter with touchdowns to wide receiver Jordy Nelson and running back James Starks but was unable to narrow the gap to a one-score game.
Mariota found wide receiver Rishard Matthews for a 32-yard score and cornerback LeShaun Sims recovered a Packers’ muffed punt at the Green Bay 24-yard line to set up a touchdown pass from Mariota to wide receiver Kendall Wright.
With 9:06 remaining in the game and the Packers trailing 44-25, cornerback Perrish Cox intercepted Rodgers at midfield. Kicker Ryan Succop added a 23-yard field goal to seal with win for Tennessee.
