Mariota throws for 3 scores to help Titans beat Miami 30-17

Miami faces the 4-1 Pittsburgh Steelers next week and the prospect of a 1-5 start looms very real.

"It's not about win a game, lose a game, win a game", McCourty said.

"There was nothing really great that I can point to in this game". Not only did Marcus Mariota play his best game of the season going 20 for 29 for 163 yards and three touchdowns.

The Titans sacked Tannehill six times, doubling their season total.

The Dolphins' defense continued to struggle stopping the run despite committing additional defenders in the box to stop the Titans' running backs.

DeMarco Murray found room on the flanks and then shimmed for extra yards.

"He's a risky guy back there, " Murray said of Mariota. "Us fast, pretty guys like to take advantage of them". We were able to run the ball. That should help the Dolphins get a short field for their offense and pick up a needed win. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed just 12 of 18 for 191 yards and no touchdowns. Coming into the game, the Titans defense had registered just six sacks over the first four games.

The Titans' Jason McCourty yanked a pass from Parker for an interception to set up a field goal.

Brian Orakpo, Derrick Morgan and Jurrell Casey got the sacks - two each, in fact.

"My family was down there, and they said it was all clear, and that was good", he said.

"Playing for (Alabama offensive coordinator) Lane (Kiffin), he's got a good variety of things, "Gase said of Drake". It was a whole team effort. If Miami can't get pressure on Mariota, look for him to beat them on the ground. The Titans came out and established their game early. The Dolphins allowed 21 points within the first two quarters of the game.

-Dolphins' pass rush vs. Tennessee QB Marcus Mariota. Tennessee proved why they are the fourth in the National Football League in rushing and had 10 runs of eight yards or more in the first three quarters.

For the second week in a row, and after firing their special teams coordinator on Monday, the Titans allowed a punt return for a touchdown.

Mariota engineered four touchdown drives, eating up 61, 76, 75 and 66 yards at renovated Hard Rock Stadium.

Delanie Walker caught five of Mariota's passes for 66 yards and one of his two touchdown passes.

The Miami Dolphins' season is over, and so is Ryan Tannehill's time quarterbacking this team.

The Titans (2-3) clawed back into the conversation in the AFC South, while the Dolphins (1-4) appear destined for an eighth consecutive year out of the playoffs.

Miami is well rested after having played their last game on Thursday Night Football against Cincinnati last week. Tennessee fans desperately need something to cheer for at Nissan Stadium, and if the Titans can limit their mistakes on offense and keep up their solid play on defense, they will finally give their home crowd a reason to celebrate.
