Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota has a sprained left knee Byron Murphy Jersey , and his left tackle has a sore back. The physical ailments are nothing like the frustration felt by the Titans after turning in their lowest-scoring performance all season. And it couldn’t have been more costly, leaving Tennessee now looking up at Jacksonville in the AFC South with three games remaining. The Titans scored only one touchdown in the second quarter of a 12-7 loss to Arizona. They have only themselves to blame for mistakes that led to two interceptions, a rookie not finding a pass that might’ve been a touchdown and an anemic run game. And that doesn’t include the fake punt that was so close it was overturned on review, giving Arizona the ball on Tennessee’s side of the field for an easy field goal. ”We’ve just got to do a better job of execution across the board,” Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Monday. ”We didn’t have very many mental errors, probably one of our least mental errors games. But unfortunately those ones we had were right at the point of where the ball was going to be, either thrown or run.” The Titans (8-5) did get some good news Monday. Mariota sprained the left knee he already protects with a brace, but Mularkey doesn’t expect that to keep him from Sunday’s game at San Francisco (3-10). Left tackle Taylor Lewan will need treatment after being forced from the game in the second quarter, but he also is expected back at practice. Mariota blamed himself for the interceptions , including one near the goal line. Mularkey said the knee injury, which didn’t cost Mariota a snap, did affect both the quarterback’s throws and limited what the Titans could call offensively. ”He missed some throws he usually doesn’t miss Andy Isabella Jersey ,” Mularkey said. ”I definitely think it had a little bit of an effect, it certainly did in the play calling.” That led the Titans to finishing with just 204 yards, their third-fewest yards this season with all three games resulting in losses. They ran for just 65 yards a week after a season-high 198 yards rushing. Wide receiver Rishard Matthews took the blame for one interception where he should have gone in front of the defender instead of turning outside. He said they have to clean up the ”self-inflicted wounds.” Even the defense, which tied its season-high with eight sacks, also has areas for improvement. Mularkey says defenders tried to do too much, leading to Arizona running for 136 yards. That snapped an eight-game streak where Tennessee had not allowed an opponent to run for more than 100 yards. Tennessee did hold Arizona to only four field goals. ”We have to bounce back,” linebacker Wesley Woodyard said. ”We still have a chance of making the playoffs and winning our division. Everything is still in front of us. We let one slip away.” The Titans still control their fate. They currently hold the AFC’s No. 5 seed for a wild-card berth, and after playing the 49ers they host the Los Angeles Rams (9-4). The Jaguars visit in the regular season finale with the AFC South title likely on the line if the Titans clean up their mistakes. They are spending this week in Arizona to limit the travel between back-to-back road games. ”It’s very fixable,” Mularkey said of their offensive execution. ”There’s things in life that aren’t, this is one that is.” — EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Saquon Barkley needed one play to justify the hype.After banging and grinding for small gains much of the game, the No. 2 overall draft pick wowed New York Giants‘ fans in his NFL debut with a spectacular 68-yard Zach Allen Jersey , fourth-quarter touchdown run in a 20-15 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.The Penn State product finished with a game-high 106 yards rushing, caught two passes for 22 yards and showed there was a good reason why he was the most-hyped rookie to join the franchise since Lawrence Taylor started a Hall of Fame career in 1981.“That’s why we drafted that young man,” Giants coach Pat Shurmur said after the Jaguars spoiled his coaching debut with New York.Defensive end Calais Campbell, one of six Pro Bowlers on a Jaguars defense that was ranked No. 2 overall last season, was impressed with Barkley after the first few plays of the game, a run for zero and another for minus-3.“The first run and the first couple of times I tackled him, I said, this kid has something,” Campbell said. “Obviously, you see it on tape, but we didn’t get to watch a lot of tape on him. It’s his college tape. Coming into the NFL against a team like ours, and making some of the plays he made Hakeem Butler Jersey , that kid’s going to be special.”Campbell said he traded jerseys with Barkley after the game.“I was like, “OK, if he can stay healthy, he might one day be a Hall of Famer,” Campbell said.The touchdown run was impressive. Barkley took a handoff from Eli Manning inside, cut it to the outside, stepped out of a tackle attempt and ran down the right sideline, getting a great block from receiver Sterling Shepard.“It was amazing; it was a great feeling, but it was a feeling that came and went,” Barkley said. “One touchdown is not going to win the game, and that touchdown didn’t win the game this week, but to get in there Chris Lindstrom Jersey , it was a dream come true to find the end zone. I did keep the ball, but it was just like ‘Move on, next play,’ and find a way to get in there again.”For most of the game, the Jaguars held Barkley in check . Eleven of his 18 carries were for 3 yards or less.“Yeah, obviously, you wish that they were all 75- and 80-yard runs, but it wasn’t like that in college and I didn’t expect it to be like that in the NFL,” the 21-year-old said. “You have to take what they give you. It’s kind of like playing chess: When you get your opportunity, you have to execute.”Barkley said there was one play where he realized that NFL is going to be a lot different than college. He made a player miss on a run, broke outside and was tackled by free safety Tashaun Gipson Sr.“In college, that was a touchdown http://www.lionsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jahlani-tavai-jersey ,” Barkley said. “It was a great play by him.”It just reminded Barkley that big plays are special.“Today, we didn’t pop one until like the fourth quarter or end of the third, so you just have to continue to stay with it,” he said. “That’s what I kept saying, the offensive line and also to just stay with it, something is going to pop, and when they give us that chance, we have to make them pay for it.”
