The Tennessee Titans go on the road again after a brutal loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars that hopefully led to the benching of Jamil Douglas and a long look in the mirror from the players and staff.

The Titans roster is talented and despite the negative GIFs on Twitter, you can still win a lot of games with Mariota under center even if that is as a facilitator and not as a playmaker.

Atlanta struggled to stop the power run game of the Colts last week, but their speed is concerning for a team like the Titans that want to run outside zone plays.

Ultimately the Titans defense will have to step up big today and if the extra time gave the offense a chance to figure out one or two designed chunk plays, then I think the Titans come away with a win here.

Final score: Titans 24, Falcons 17
