It was a rainy Womens Ryan Succop Jersey , nasty day at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Marcus Mariota and the offense struggled out of the gates, to put it mildly. The Titans could only generate 25 rushing yards and 81 passing yards in the first half. The Ravens, on the other hand, made it look easy early on. Joe Flacco manufactured a 17 play, 94 yard drive in the first quarter, finishing with a pass to Michael Crabtree for the touchdown. Crabtree was the man doing the damage in the first half, grabbing four passes for 72 yards. Baltimore found the endzone one more time in the second quarter, capping off a touchdown drive with a run from Alex Collins. Their lead was 14-0 over the Titans at halftime. Coming out of the break, it got worse. Willie Snead converted a couple of big third downs for the Ravens http://www.titansche...or-lewan-jersey , who barreled their way into the endzone once again. It was Alex Collins finishing off a drive one more time, bringing the score to 21-0.Marcus Mariota and the offense would get two more chances to do something — heck anything — but nothing was happening against this Ravens front. The Titans’ offensive line was completely over-matched today, which ended up crippling the entire offensive attack. To make matters worse, Quinton Spain exited the game with an injury in the third quarter.The fourth quarter brought similar results — more punting from Brett Kern.Baltimore racked up a staggering eleven sacks this afternoon, teeing off on a leaky offensive line and a shaky Marcus Mariota. That’s a new franchise record for Baltimore, by the way.The Ravens converted 12 out of 17 attempts on third down, which was the story of this game for the Titans’ defense. The Titans converted just one of ten on third down.Suddenly the 3-3 Titans have huge issues up front — in addition to a banged up quarterback with no confidence — on top of having virtually no playmakers outside of Corey Davis. Mike Vrabel and Matt LaFleur have a lot to figure out before next Sunday’s trip to London. A matchup with the Chargers feels impossible after what we just witnessed.What are the odds? Titans at Bills The Tennessee Titans keep winning — both on the field and in Vegas. Mike Vrabel’s group improved to 3-1 against the spread on Sunday, winning for the third straight week as the underdog. This win was very different from the others though. The Titans were finally back to full strength, seeing quarterback Marcus Mariota return to form Cheap Kevin Byard Jersey , along with right tackle Jack Conklin returning to the starting lineup.
Tennessee went toe to toe with the world champs, and came out on top in dramatic fashion. Next up are the Buffalo Bills, one of the worst teams in the league. Vegas placed the Titans as three point road favorites for Sunday’s matchup, but that line quickly jumped up to -3.5. The total has been set at just 39 points.With three straight straining, improbable wins, it’s going to be interesting to see how this team shows up as a favorite against a bad Bills team on the road. You better not sleep on any team in the NFL — just ask the Vikings. Buffalo dismantled Minnesota in week three for their only win on the season so far. It was a truly shocking result, considering how bad the Bills looked in weeks one and two.If you take that Vikings game out of the equation, the Bills have a -77 point differential for the year. Even with that game in the equation, they’re -56 for the year — and it’s only week five.The team stats actually aren’t all that bad for Buffalo Cheap Marcus Mariota Jersey , at least defensively. The Bills are 15th in total defense, ranking 11th against the run. Most of that is due to game flow issues for Minnesota and the fact that Green Bay can’t really run the ball. They’re 16th against the pass, anchored by standout cornerback Tre’Davious White, who should see plenty of Corey Davis. The problem comes on the offensive side, where they rank 31st in total offense. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen is the leading passer and rusher on the team, if that tells you anything. With how the Titans looked on offense against the Eagles, it’s hard to think the Bills will be able to hang for four quarters. But it is the NFL — and the spread is small for a reason. This has “letdown spot” written all over it.I’m rolling with the Titans -3.5, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this one is closer than you think.
