FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 5, 2015 NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (1-2) return from their bye this week to host the Buf- falo Bills (2-2). Kickoff at Nissan Stadium (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for noon CDT on Sunday, Oct. 11. THE BROADCAST This week’s game will be televised regionally on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5. Andrew Catalon will handle play-by-play duties alongside analysts Steve Tasker and Steve Beuerlein. The Titans Radio Network, including Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone, will carry the game across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Frank Wy- check, gameday host Rhett Bryan and sideline reporter Jonathan Hutton. TITANS LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK FOLLOWING EARLY BYE Before their bye, the Titans played their home opener against the Indianapolis Colts, which also was the Titans’ first of four consecutive home games. The Titans erased an early 14-0 deficit to take a 27-14 lead in the second half, but the Colts posted 21 points in the fourth quarter to escape Nissan Stadium with a 35-33 victory. Rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota led the Titans on a late two-minute drive that came close to pushing the game to overtime after fullback Jalston Fowler scored on a one-yard touchdown run. However, needing a two-point conversion to tie the score, Fowler got the handoff again but was denied by the Colts on the attempt. Mariota was 27-of-44 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the contest. His 367 passing yards set a new franchise single-game record for a rookie, breaking Zach Mettenberger’s mark last season of 345 passing yards at Philadelphia (Nov. 23). The beginning to Mariota’s career is among the best in NFL history among quarter- backs. His season totals include 833 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions on 61-of-97 passing. He tied former Redskins quarterback Mark Rypien (1988) for the most touchdown passes in NFL history through the first three games of a career. Also, with a passer rating of 109.2, Mariota owns the eighth best passer rating in NFL history in a player’s first three starts and the highest since Chad Pennington’s first three starts in 2002. Through four weeks of the NFL season, Mariota is listed among the league leaders in several passing categories. He ranks fifth in passer rating, fifth in yards per attempt (8.6) and tied for fifth in touchdown passes, despite playing one fewer game than most starting quarterbacks around the league. This week marks the second contest for the Titans in a rare span that includes four home games and a bye. They were last on the road at Cleveland on Sept. 20, and the next away game they will play is Nov. 1 at Houston, giving them five weeks during the regular season without a road contest. In the 56-year history of the organization, that has happened only three previous times: 1960, 1964 and 1967. The Titans hope to take advantage of the unusually early bye in their schedule. In the “Titans era” (1999–present), there have been only three other occasions in which they had an open date after three games or fewer: 2000 (Week 3); 2001 (originally Week 4 but occurred after two games due to the postponement of all games following Sept. 11); and 2007 (Week 4).

The Titans and Bills contest brings together two of the original teams of the American Football League, founded by two of the visionaries who helpedsetinmotiononeofthemostsignificanterasinfootballhistory.Itwas in 1960 that K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr.’s then-Houston Oilers and Ralph Wilson, Jr.’s Bills became two of the eight teams that began play in the newly-formed league. Adams,Wilsonand theotheroriginalAFLownerswere dubbed the “Foolish Club” for their choice to accept the seemingly-im-possible task of competing with the National Football League. Ten seasons later, the burgeoning league’s success was more than apparent, as the AFL and NFL completed a historic merger. In the regular season and postseason, the Titans and Bills have met a total of 44 times. The Titans hold a 28-16 advantage in the series, dating back to the inaugural AFL season. Themomentumintheserieshasswungbackandforth.From1967until 1978, the Oilers had a 10-game winning streak over the Bills, thelongest streak in the series. From 1983–94, Buffalo controlled the series, going 8-3. But since then, Tennessee has won eight out of the last nine, in-cludingthelastfiveandthemostrecentmatchupin2012,a35-34decisionin Buffalo. The franchises have met three times in the playoffs, with Buffalo hold-ing a 2-1 advantage in those meetings. The last playoff matchup between the two teams was in 1999, when the Titans defeated the Bills 22-16 in an AFCWildCardgame.Inaplayknownasthe“MusicCityMiracle,”Kevin Dyson returned a Frank Wychecklateralonakickoffreturn75yardsfora touchdown with only 16 seconds left in the game, giving Tennessee the win. The Titans went on to beat Indianapolis and Jacksonville before falling to St. Louis in Super Bowl XXXIV. Ina1992WildCardgame,theBillsachievedasimilarlymiraculouswin. Trailing 35-3 in the third quarter, the Bills rallied to score 35 consecu-tive points and eventually won 41-38 in overtime.

The Colts erased a 27-14 deficit in the fourth quarter to claim adramatic 35-33 victory over the Titans at Nissan Stadium. Frank Gore’s touchdown run with 2:51 on the clock in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference in a game for the Colts, but not without a finalpushbyquarterbackMarcus Mariota and the Titans offense that could have potentially forced overtime.

Onfirst-and-goal from theone-yard line,fullback Jalston Fowler plunged into the end zone for a touchdown. But the Titans still needed a two-point conversion to tie the score. A defensive pass interference penalty on the Titans’ initial attempt put the ball at the one-yard line. The Titans tried once again to use Fowler on a handoff, but he was stuffed for a loss. With 47 seconds remaining, the Titans were unable to recover anonside kick, and Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was able to kneel on the ball to run out the clock.

NOTES FROM LAST WEEK’S GAME

HEAD COACH KEN WHISENHUNT

(opening statement)

Well,obviouslyextremelydisappointing.Iguessnotmuchtosayexceptthatwe couldn’t make the play we could have made to win that game. I like the waywe foughtbackaftermistakes in thefirst half.We took the lead, youknow, then we just had some mistakes in the second half that hurt us. I think itisprettyevidentthatwearegettingbetter.Wearelearningandwe’vejustgot to learn from this, continue to grow.

(on what Jalston Fowler should have done on the two-point conversion attempt rather than retreat)

You never how those plays are going to come up. I would have to see it on the tape. It’s a play where we are trying to establish our identity there, that we are a physical football team and we know that we can get it in. And we didn’t. The playbeforetheygrabbedus.Wehadagoodplaytheplaybeforeandthey

grabbed us so that’s the way it works sometime.

(on if the outcome was part of the learning process)

You don’t want to say that. I mean that’s a hard thing to say. I mean that’s reallywhatit is.Wegotalotofyoungguys.Someofthoseguysouttheretoday,that’sthefirsttimetheyhavebeeninthatsituation.Wemadesomemistakes.That’sthewayitis.We’vegottogetbetter.Wewilllearnfromthatand we will. The one thing I will say is this team never quit. There were a lot of pointswherewedidalotofgoodthings.Wegotthelead,welostitandthathurts, really hurts. But we fought back and scored. I just wish we would have gotten the two-pointer.

(on if there was an option on the two-point PAT attempt)

It’s a called Fowler run all the way. There are going to be a lot questions about that. If it works, it’s a good call. If it doesn’t, it’s not but you have to go with what you believe in and we are trying to establish something with our football

I thought it did and we had them in third-and-20.That was tough, because we get them backed up, and the conversion rate on third and 20 isn’t that good, but they scored a touchdown on that and that hurts us. But what can I say, I am not going to fault our defense because they played their tails off today. Theygotacoupleof turnovers,madeplays.Ourentire teamdid that.Wemademistakesasagroup.Whetheryoulikeitornotwe’vegottogetbetterfrom it, but we showed a lot of heart with our football team and fought our way back in and we did a lot of good things. Weunderstandthatwecameupshortand we’ll work to get better.

(on the psyche of the team)

Well,they’rehurting.Theyworktheirtailsofftodothat,butIthinktheyalsorecognizethatwemadethemistakesandthatwe’llgetthatcorrected.We’regoing to be a good football team. 1-2 is not where we want to be. I feel awful because it was such a great crowd today, it was really a great atmosphere. WejustgotfinishthesegamesandIbelievewe’regoingtodothat.We’regetting a lot closer.

(on quarterback Marcus Mariota’s day)

It’s hard to make an assessment until you see it. I know he did a tremendous amount of good things. He took us on a two-minute drive to score to tie it up. I mean, what are the questions you have about a quarterback is, can he do that. He certainly made some good throws and some good plays there. If you wipe out everything else and say you’ve got two minutes to score a touchdown in a critical situation, he handled himself very well. Are there other things that we can all work on? Sure. He’s a young quarterback. He’s just like our tackle, just like our fullback, just like our receiver – we’re experiencing thingsforthefirsttimeinsituationslikethatandthey’llbebetterthenexttimearound.

(on teaching team to learn how to win)

You’ve got to go through things like this and you’ve got to win one of them, is what you have to do. But you know what, you can teach them now, you can teach them that if you believe in what you’re doing and you continue to work, you’re going to have a chance and then you just have to execute. You can try to simulate these conditions all that you want but you never know what’s going to happen during the course of a game, when somebody’s going to makeaplay,justlikeDGB(DorialGreen-Beckham).Wecandoallwewantabout that, on that last two-minute drive, when Marcus (Mariota) scrambled to his left and hit DGB on the crosser and he got down to the three-yard line, those things happen in a game. They made a play. Marcus and DGB made a play, got us down to the three-yard line, which we scored a touchdown. You’ve just got to continue to work on the things in practice or the things we could’ve done better or the things we’ve done differently – sure, there are a million of those things, but we had guys make plays in different spots and I really think we’re improving.

QUARTERBACK MARCUS MARIOTA

(on the disappointment of coming up short)

Yeah, I mean, it’s tough, but we’ll learn from it. Proud of the guys in the locker roomforfightingallthewaythroughbutit’soneofthosethings.Wehadachancetofinishitbutyouknow,you’vejustgottolearnfromitandgetbetter.

Ruston Webster is entering his fourth season as executive vice president/general manager in2015. He served two seasons as Titans vice presi-dent of player personnel before he was elevated to his current position on Jan. 18, 2012. Early in the 2015 offseason, Webster engi-neered deals with several players. The Titans gave new contracts to outside linebacker Derrick Mor-gan, punter Brett Kern, kicker Ryan Succop and defensive lineman Karl Klug, retaining the services of key performers who were eligible to sign with other clubs. Additionally, they tapped the free agent market to land outside linebacker Brian Orakpo (formerlywith theWashingtonRedskins),widereceiver Harry Douglas (Atlanta Falcons), safety Da’Norris Searcy (Buf-falo Bills), tight end Anthony Fasano (Kansas City Chiefs) and cornerback Perrish Cox (San Francisco 49ers).
