Mariota (knee) completed 28 of 39 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns without a turnover in his return to the field Sunday against New Orleans. He also rushed once for five yards.
Not only did Mariota lead the Titans back in the fourth quarter (including a successful two-point conversion) after they trailed throughout the game, but he hit tight end Anthony Fasano for an overtime touchdown to win it. Having missed the last two games with a knee injury and losing top receiver Kendall Wright to a knee issue of his own, Mariota may not have seemed like a top option heading into Sunday's game, but the Saints' secondary isn't stopping anyone at this point -- they've given up 10 passing touchdowns without a pick in the last two games. The impressive rookie has a much tougher challenge on tap when the Panthers come to town next Sunday.
