It being the preseason, the Titans look efficient and inspired, and following the first quarter of business on Sunday night, they lead the St. Louis Rams 10-0.Marcus Mariota looked considerably more situated in the pocket to start his second preseason game than he did his first, a two-turnover bonanza in Atlanta that put a streak of worry into those hopeful eyes around Nashville. The rookie ended up 3-for-5 on 52 yards, but it was a defensive play that put the Titans on the board.
Parrish Cox had five interceptions with the 49ers last season, and thanks to Nick Foles, secured his first as a Titan, stepping in front of Tavon Austin on a miscommunication and darting the other way for the 24 yard score.
Both squads are looking to provide some jolt to what last season were anemic offensive units. Foles spearheads a group that in 2014 was the fifth-worst in football and Marcus Mariota a Titans unit that was one-step worse than that.
Bishop Sankey ran riot over the Rams in the opening session, collecting 45 yards on six rushes, including runs of 18 and 19 yards over a St. Louis defense that overcommitted to the duel-threat Mariota, leaving holes mostly to the right side for Sankey to put the Titans in position.
