Titans hit back at fan who criticizes Marcus Mariota on Twitter
Marcus Mariota is not having a very good season with the Titans, but the person who runs the team’s official Twitter account is not just going to sit back and let fans criticize the quarterback.
On Tuesday, the Titans tweeted an announcement showing their home and away opponents for the 2018 season. When one salty follower replied that the team is going to go 0-16 if Mariota is still its QB, the Titans fired back.
0-16 if Mariota is QB

0-16 if you're our QB.

Considering the way Mariota and the Titans have played lately, we’re going to give the edge to the fan in this social media spat. Tennessee has lost three straight games and is in danger of missing the playoffs, though a mistake from the officials proved extremely costly for them in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Mariota has thrown 11 interceptions in his last eight games, and he has a passer rating of 78.6 on the season. He has battled through some injuries, but the Titans expected much more from him in his third season as a pro.
