Titans having problems protecting QB Mariota

The Tennessee Titans have an issue protecting their quarterback with Marcus Mariota taking hits from defenses he hasn’t experienced since his rookie season. Mariota was sacked 38 times in 12 games in 2015 with 17 coming in a four-game stretch early that season. Tennessee has allowed an NFL-worst 39 sacks with 17 in the four games since the team’s bye. Mariota has been sacked 35 times this season thus far. The Titans welcome the New York Jets to Nissan Stadium Sunday.
