Marcus Mariota throws 4 early TDs

Marcus Mariota's NFL career could not have B.J. RajiJerseystarted much better. The professional debut of Jameis Winston, on the other hand, quickly tailspinned in the opposite direction. The Titans easily surpassed their highest scoring total of 28 points from last season, when they went 2-14 before drafting Mariota with the No. 2 overall pick. "It felt great," Mariota said. "I'm proud of the guys in the locker room. We worked hard all week to be able to execute well, and to be successful is good for us." Mariota joined Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton as the only players to throw four or more touchdown passes in their http://www.packersshopnfl.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BART_STARR_JERSEY.htmlfirst NFL game. Tarkenton did it for Minnesota against Chicago on Sept. 17, 1961. Mariota, who won the Heisman Trophy last year while at Oregon, completed 13 of 16 passes for 209 yards without an interception, finishing with a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating. He is the first player in league history to throw two touchdown passes in the first quarter of his NFL debut, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Mariota said his performance, as well as the team's, exceeded his expectations in his debut. "The entire offense played well,"http://www.packersshopnfl.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BRETT_FAVRE_JERSEY.html he said. "I'm very fortunate to be a part of the group that I am. The entire group just went out and executed, and we had some success today. "The entire offense was kind of on the same page. If we can continue to do that, we can be pretty good this year." Titans cornerback Coty Sensabaugh, who scored on a 26-yard interception return in the first quarter, had high praise for Mariota after the game. "Eight is special," he said of Mariota, who wears No. 8. "He showed the country what he can be. Erik LoriglJerseyWe have a lot to look forward to. But we have to get back to work." While Mariota was impressive in his regular-season debut, Winston's career started inauspiciously. He threw an interception to Sensabaugh, who returned it 26 yards for a touchdown, on his first passing attempt and was intercepted on a screen pass in the second quarter as well. Winston, the No. 1 overall draft pick in this year's http://www.saintsonlineofficialshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_GARRETT_GRAYSON_JERSEY.htmldraft, became the first quarterback since Brett Favre in 1991 to have his first NFL pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Winston threw a pair of touchdown passes to Austin Seferian-Jenkins and finished 16-of-33 for 210 yards. He also rushed for 18 yards and was sacked four times. Winston acknowledged Mariota had "an amazing game," which he said didn't surprise him because he considers Mariota a "great quarterback." Winston said it's natural for fans to wonder after a game like this whether the Bucs made the wrong decision in the 2015 NFL draft, but said he's encouraged the Bucs will show enough improvement to win fans over.
