BREAKING NEWS
After evaluating the three running backs at practice over the week, the running back depth chart has been updated:
1. David Cobb 2. Bishop Sankey 3. Antonio Andrews
Bishop Sankey showed speed, but had trouble getting through holes into open space.
Antonio Andrews showed the ability to pick holes, but his lack of speed meant he had trouble getting into open space and through holes.
David Cobb showed speed and the ability to break tackles, as well as the ability to get into open space.
Cobb will get his first career start in Week 5 against the Bills, who boast one of the top defenses in the league.

-The Titans are the least productive offense in the league, as well as one of the worse defenses. If the Titans have any playoff hopes, they need to turn that around now.

POST GAME REPORT
An upset win over the Bills helps the Titans’ confidence greatly. David Cobb struggled against the Bills at first, but after his first touchdown, he started to get things going. For his second touchdown of the day, he broke a tackle and ran 30+ yards into the end zone. Marcus Mariota played well again, with a %70+ completion rate, and one pick, which was a great play by the defense. Speaking of defense, the entire Titans unit played well, holding the high powered Bills offense to 21 points. E.J. Manuel, who’s played well all season, only threw 190 yards and 2 touchdowns. Early in the game, the Bills attempted a fake punt on 4th and Inches, and after a wild pass, the Titans took the ball and drove down to score. Now sitting at 2-2, the Titans look forward to their game against the Dolphins next week.

-The Dolphins will be without starting HB Lamar Miller for this game, leaving them with Jay Ajayi and Damien Williams in a likely committee backfield.
-The Dolphins are 3-1 at the moment, but are near the bottom of the league in offensive yards. Their defense has helped them greatly, as they rank 5th in yards allowed.

POST GAME REPORT
A mess of turnovers this game was. Marcus Mariota threw 3 picks (2 of which were in garbage time), David Cobb and Hakeem Nicks both fumbled the ball, Cobb’s leading to 3 points. Marietta, however, was not connecting on passes. Ryan Tannehill was connecting all day, and the Dolphins thrashed the Titans because of it. This game showed the truly worrying secondary after two games where they played great. This game doesn’t help the Titans, but they have to get past the disappointment and focus on the Falcons.

POST GAME REPORT
A lot of turnovers in this game. Matt Ryan threw 4 interceptions and Leonard Hankerson fumbled the ball at the goal line on what could have been a touchdown drive. Meanwhile, Marcus Mariota threw two picks and both he and David Cobb lost a fumble. The Titans controlled this game on offense and defense from start to finish. No one thought coming into this season that the Titans would be able to shut out any team, especially not a team with a franchise quarterback and two top wide receiver targets. Derrick Morgan got 3.5 sacks and an interception, and Jason McCourty got his first 2 picks of the season one of which was returned 98 yards for a touchdown. The Falcons could hardly get anything going. The Titans hope to carry this momentum to next week’s game agains the division rival Houston Texans.
