Kritik und Lob » the bench even after Keenum threw his eighth inte

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Theres nothing like a visit from the Jacksonville Jaguars to make the Tennessee Titans remember how to protect their home field.Marcus Mariota threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns to end his home struggles and the Titans had their highest point total of the season in a 36-22 victory over the Jaguars on Thursday night.Since the start of the 2014 season, the Titans are 3-0 at home against the Jaguars and 1-17 against everybody else. The Titans are 3-8 in home games started by Mariota, a second-year pro out of Oregon.It was important, Mariota said. To give our fans an opportunity to see how this team can play, it was huge. Hopefully this will build a foundation for the rest of the year and give the fans what they really want.Mariota was 18 of 22 and had a 148.1 passer rating, the second-highest of his career. DeMarco Murray ran for 123 yards and a touchdown to help the Titans bounce back four days after squandering a lead in a 34-26 home loss to Indianapolis.I thought it was good to have a short turnaround, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. It was a difficult loss we had against Indy. We had to get focused right on these guys immediately, especially with a prime-time game. We wanted to show what were capable of doing, show the country what were trying to do here.The Titans (4-4) gained a season-high 494 total yards and won for the third time in four games. They scored on six straight possessions during a stretch that began in the first quarter and stretched into the third period.Tennessee already led 3-0 before Mariota threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Kendall Wright on the first play of the second quarter. Rookie Derrick Henry capped the Titans next drive by scoring his first career touchdown on a 6-yard run.Murray added a 14-yard touchdown run 3 1/2 minutes later.After starting out to his right and encountering traffic, Murray reversed his field, capitalized on a downfield block from Mariota and dove into the left corner of the end zone for his sixth touchdown run of the season.Jacksonville (2-5) trailed 24-0 by the time it got its second first down of the game midway through the second quarter. The Titans led 27-0 at halftime.Its a broken record, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said. Its a lack of execution. Its dumb mistakes. The same stuff every week.Bortles threw three touchdown passes and went 33 of 54 for 337 yards, but much of his production came with the game out of reach.UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY: This is the first time the Titans have reached the midway point of the season without a losing record since 2011, when they also were 4-4. That 2011 team went on to finish 9-7.LARGER WORKLOAD FOR HENRY: Titans rookie Derrick Henry had a combined three carries in the two games leading up to this one, but the Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama was much busier Thursday.Henry had 16 carries for 60 yards to set career highs in both categories. He also caught four passes for 37 yards.RARE RECOVERY: LeShaun Sims got the Titans first fumble recovery of the season in the third quarter after Jacksonvilles Marqise Lee muffed a punt return. The Titans had entered the night as the only team in the NFL that hadnt recovered an opponents fumble.ANOTHER SLOW START: The Jaguars couldnt advance beyond their own 26 on their first series, continuing a long string of futility on opening possessions.The Jaguars havent scored a touchdown on their opening series of a game since the second week of the 2015 season against Miami. That 21-game drought marks the longest any team has gone without reaching the end zone on its first possession.UNHAPPY HOMECOMING: This marked a return home for Jaguars rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey, a first-round pick from Florida State who played high school football at Brentwood (Tennessee) Academy.But it didnt turn out quite the way he wanted.Ramsey was called for unnecessary roughness in the first quarter. In the second period, Ramsey was pushed backward on Henrys 6-yard run. One play later, Henry scored on another 6-yard carry.UP NEXT: The Jaguars go back on the road to visit Kansas City on Nov. 6. Now that theyve finished a three-game home stand, the Titans play at San Diego on Nov. 6.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Max 270 Clearance .

LOS ANGELES -- Other than Thomas Davis spectacular leap for an interception , the Carolina Panthers struggled to recall many highlights from their latest win.They still think its exactly what they needed if they want any hope of getting back to the Super Bowl.Cam Newton persevered through five sacks to pass for 225 yards and a touchdown, and the Panthers defense shut down Los Angeles in a 13-10 victory over the slumping Rams on Sunday.With two straight wins after a four-game skid, the Panthers (3-5) are showing signs of contention -- at least on the defensive end. They held the Rams scoreless for three quarters and without a touchdown for 59 minutes, hanging on to claim a defense-dominated day at the Coliseum.Were in a position right now where every win is pretty big for us, said Greg Olsen, who scored Carolinas only touchdown on a first-quarter reception.We put ourselves in a little bit of a hole, and the only way to really get ourselves out is to just climb out one (win) at a time, he added. We come out here (to the) West Coast against a team that we knew was pretty dynamic on defense, so to come away with a win was big for us.Graham Gano added two fourth-quarter field goals for the Panthers, whose offense managed just 244 yards against the Rams vaunted defense. Newton only shrugged.Ive never heard of a pretty loss, Newton said. Theyre very stingy, and we knew that coming in.Newton went 20 for 32 and took his share of big hits again after his complaints about the NFLs commitment to player safety dominated headlines last week. The star quarterback spoke with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to voice his worries.Newton went down from a violent sack by Mark Barron in the third quarter, and he was downed for two important sacks by star defensive lineman Aaron Donald. The star QB saw nothing worth complaining about afterward.Not worried about that, Newton said when asked if the referees had done a good job keeping quarterbacks safe. Just trying to find ways to win football games.In their franchises first game in Los Angeles, the Panthers found a way with defense. After Olsen scored Carolinas only touchdown on a 9-yard catch in the first quarter, coach Ron Riveras grouup kept the Rams off the scoreboard until the final 8:01, and Los Angeles rally fell well short.ddddddddddddThats my kind of football, Rivera said. I really like the style were playing.Case Keenum passed for 296 yards for the Rams (3-5), who have lost four straight after a strong start to their homecoming season. Los Angeles scoreless streak reached 102 minutes, 12 seconds before Greg Zuerleins 25-yard field goal.Kenny Britt then made a 10-yard touchdown catch with 34 seconds to play, but Zuerlein curiously quick-kicked the kickoff far down the field, essentially ending the game.Enough is enough, Rams guard Rodger Saffold said. We know we have to score touchdowns. The defense is out there playing a great game.HONEYMOON OVERThe Coliseum crowd booed the Rams offense repeatedly and chanted We want Goff! during the first half of another dispiriting offensive performance in the Rams return from their bye week. No. 1 pick Jared Goff remained on the bench even after Keenum threw his eighth interception in four games to Davis, killing a solid drive in the second half.The Rams finally got moving in the fourth, but Lance Kendricks dropped a sure touchdown pass from Keenum at the goal line on third down, forcing a field goal.Keenum went 27 for 46 for the Rams, who hadnt scored a touchdown in 115 minutes, 41 seconds before Britts grab.GONE GURLEYTodd Gurley had 48 yards in another quiet game, although he broke his longest run of the season for 18 yards out of the wildcat in the first half.
