NASHVILLE Rashaan Evans Jersey , Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans had everything they needed to cap coach Mike Vrabel’s debut season with a second straight playoff berth.Except a healthy quarterback.Marcus Mariota watched from the sideline as Blaine Gabbert was intercepted twice in the final 9:05 Sunday night in a 33-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts that snapped the Titans’ four-game winning streak and ended their season.“We got to do a better job and figure out how to try to take the next step,” Vrabel said.The Titans, who finished 9-7 for a third straight season, had listed Mariota as questionable for this game with neck and foot injuries. Mariota sat out one practice and was limited in two others, throwing the ball well enough that the fourth-year quarterback appeared on track to at least test himself in pregame warmups.Mariota never took the field in pregame warmups, the decision already made for the No. 2 pick overall in the 2015 draft not to even dress for a win-and-in game to wrap up the regular season.Vrabel declined to share any details on the seriousness of Mariota’s injury or when the decision was made not to play the quarterback. An ESPN.com report cited anonymous sources that Mariota was at risk of permanent damage to a nerve hurt by the stinger that knocked the quarterback out of last week’s win against Washington.Vrabel said only that Mariota was as disappointed as his teammates over the loss.“We made a decision that Marcus wasn’t going to play tonight,” said Vrabel. “We’ll continue to evaluate him and try to worry about his health and every one of those guys’ health — Marcus included.”Gabbert said he didn’t know for certain that he would make his third start of the season until Sunday morning. Gabbert was 18 of 29 for a season-high 165 yards with a TD pass.“It’s tough,” Gabbert said of the loss. “You want to go out there and perform well for the guys, lead the guys, get a win and get into the race. But I didn’t do enough. We didn’t’ do enough, and our season ended tonight.”Some of the Titans said after the game that they knew early in the week that Mariota might not be able to play.Center Ben Jones said Mariota would have played if he could have and his teammates love him to death.“Trust me, Marcus is one of the toughest guys on this team, and if he could have played, he definitely would be out there,” Jones said. “We respect the hell out of him for what he does for this team and what he plays through. He’s one of the toughest son of a guns on the team.”Linebacker Wesley Woodyard said the Titans had a chance to win, even without Mariota.“They made more plays than us,” Woodyard said. “On defense, we didn’t do a good job of getting off the field in the first half. You’ve got to start fast against a team like that.”With Gabbert making his third start of the season for Mariota, the Titans struggled for much of the game to do much on offense. Derrick Henry took the first offensive snap for Tennessee in the wildcat, and he ran for 93 yards. But the Titans held the ball for only 3 minutes, 50 seconds of the first quarter with Indianapolis (10-6) having a 139-15 edge in total offense.Only linebacker Jayon Brown’s interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter and then stripping Colts running back Marlon Mack of the ball kept the Titans within 17-10 of the Colts at halftime. The Colts outgained the Titans 436-258 Harold Landry Jersey , the seventh time this season that Tennessee didn’t reach 300 yards of total offense.Now the Titans will clean out their lockers Monday.“As a whole, this game should eat us up all the way until next year,” Woodyard said. “We can build off this. You can learn a lot when you lose.” The three rookie receivers of the Green Bay Packers had a mixed debut.J'Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown had their moments, but also showed room for improvement in the Green Bay Packers' 31-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night.Valdes-Scantling, a fifth-round pick from South Florida, had the best game of the three, catching five passes for 101 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown from No. 4 quarterback Tim Boyle.Brown, a sixth-round pick from Notre Dame, had four catches for 61 yards, including a slick 28-yard catch-and-run to help set up Valdes-Scantling's touchdown.Moore, a fourth-round pick from Missouri, had the toughest game of the three, catching three passes for 27 yards and dropping what would have likely been a long touchdown pass. Valdes-Scantling also dropped a pass."I thought they did a really good job getting off the line of scrimmage," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday."I thought their releases and attacking leverage, the young guys, frankly, did better than some of the veterans (after watching) the video. But what do we do at the end of the route? Those are things that you just need live reps. Getting out of the cut, getting to the right breaking point, catching the ball."As has been the case throughout camp Corey Davis Jersey , the young receiver who stole the show was Jake Kumerow.He isn't a rookie. He's in his fourth training camp after two years on the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad and after spending time on the Packers' practice squad at the end of last season.Kumerow, who has drawn praise from star quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout camp, put an exclamation point on the game with a 52-yard touchdown catch from Boyle.But while the 26-year-old Kumerow came from Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater, he's had the advantage of NFL camp experience and has avoided the inconsistency the three rookie draft picks have exhibited.That inconsistency drew Rodgers' ire late in the week after a particularly sloppy practice on Tuesday that McCarthy called "our worst practice of the year."After that practice, Rodgers, who ran the scout-team offense because he wasn't going to play against the Titans, listed players who were doing things the right way, but left the three rookie receivers off that list.While he never mentioned them by name, he left little doubt which players he was referring to for making repeated mistakes.Valdes-Scantling had a leaping 51-yard catch on a deep pass by DeShone Kizer in the third quarter. He also made a nice in-the-air adjustment to pull down Boyle's pass on the touchdown, which gave the Packers a 24-10 lead with under four minutes left."Definitely. That's our leader," Valdes-Scantling said when asked if he took Rodgers' criticism to heart. "You've got a Hall of Fame quarterback over there, and if he's telling you that you're not doing it right, you've got to change what you're doing. It's just that we've got to be pros all the time. Can't be pros for just three-fourths of practice, you've got to be it all the time. That was the only thing."Moore's biggest disappointment came in the second half, on a deep ball from Boyle on third-and-8 from the Green Bay 35-yard line. While Moore did a terrific job of getting open on the go-route, he dropped the ball at the Titans 29-yard line. Had he caught it, it likely would have been a 65-yard touchdown."I'm going to move forward for sure," Moore said. "But it's definitely going to put a fire up underneath me and definitely have me dig deeper."
