NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans had everything they needed to cap coach Mike Vrabel’s debut season with a second straight playoff berth. Except a healthy quarterback.
Marcus Mariota watched from the sideline as Blaine Gabbert was intercepted twice in the final 9:05 in a 33-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts that snapped the Titans’ four-game winning streak and ended their season. Coach Mike Vrabel declined to discuss when the decision not to start Mariota was made or the status of the quarterback’s injury.
