NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Mike Mularkey credits Marcus Mariota for why the Tennessee Titans are scoring points at a clip this franchise has never seen before.Having Aaron Rodgers just isnt enough right now for the Green Bay Packers.Mariota threw for 295 yards and four touchdowns Sunday, helping the Titans rout the Packers 47-25 for their second win in three games.Tennessee has scored at least 35 points in three straight games in that span, something this franchise has never done before in a single season even with quarterbacks named George Blanda, Warren Moon or Steve McNair.Hes playing well for us right now, Mularkey said. He knows the things we cant do with the turnovers, but hes the reason we have the chance to put the points up.DeMarco Murray also ran for 123 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown on Tennessees first play from scrimmage. Six different Titans scored a touchdown helping Tennessee (5-5) match its win total of the past two seasons combined.The Packers (4-5) lost their third straight and for the fourth time in five games, falling below .500 at the latest point in the season since 2013 . Injuries are piling up, and it only gets tougher for Green Bay with two more road games before they play at Lambeau Field again.We dug ourselves a huge, huge hole and, frankly, it comes down to the basics of football, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. We werent nearly to the standard that we expect from one another.Here are some things to know about Tennessees big win:STREAKING MARIOTAMariota came into this game tied with Rodgers for the most touchdown passes in the NFL over the previous five weeks at 13. He threw two more than Rodgers to match the franchise record set by Moon in 1987 for most consecutive games with multiple TD passes at six. Mariota also has 21 TD passes this season, making him the first quarterback for this franchise to throw at least 20 in a season since Steve McNair had 24 in 2003. McNair was co-MVP that season with Peyton Manning.Mariota is the first quarterback in league history to have three games with a 70 percent or better completion rate, at least four TD passes and no interceptions during his first two seasons.POTENT TITANSTennessee has scored at least 26 points in each of the past six games, cranking up the offense to 36, 35 and now 47 points against Green Bay. They also had five plays of at least 32 yards or longer, four of those passes from Mariota. He completed TD passes to four different players.STRUGGLING PACKERSFor the second straight week, the Packers found themselves trailing. This time, they have only themselves to blame after the Titans attempted an onside kick to open the game with the ball going straight to the Packers. With the ball at the Tennessee 49, Green Bay went three-and-out. It took a little bit to get going, Rodgers said.LEWAN EJECTEDThe Titans certainly didnt miss left tackle Taylor Lewan as DeMarco Murray ran for 123 yards and a TD with Tennessee piling up 446 yards of total offense. But Mariota was sacked twice, the first sacks allowed by Tennessee in three games. He was tossed after knocking away back judge Steve Freemans hand at the start of Tennessees second series. Mularkey said he had told his team referee Jeff Triplettes crew already had ejected five players this season. Lewan said he wasnt proud of what happened.INJURIESThe Packers lost two players within the first five minutes to ankle injuries. Both linebacker Jake Ryan and starting right guard T.J. Lang hurt ankles and originally were questionable to return before being ruled out early in the third quarter. Dan Barclay replaced Lang. Then Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari hurt a knee and was replaced by rookie Jason Spriggs late in the third quarter. McCarthy said they had so many injuries in the game he didnt have a list when he talked with reporters after the game or an update on Bakhtiari.QUOTABLEWe knew we had to bring it, or it could have gotten ugly for us, said Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo who had two of Tennessees five sacks.UP NEXT:Packers: Remain on the road, facing the Washington Redskins.Titans: Travel to Indy to face the AFC South rival Colts.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

Stitched Celtics Jerseys . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. PITTSBURGH -- The near-misses still eat at Pat Narduzzi. As good as the Pittsburgh coach feels about his team as it heads into Saturdays regular-season finale against Syracuse, the memory of the ones that got away still linger.When you look at our losses, theyre like this, Narduzzi said Monday, putting his thumb and index finger an inch apart. Its interesting we didnt get (them). I look back at how close we are to winning them all. God if we had done this as coaches, maybe we would have won every one of those games.Outside of a second half meltdown at Miami earlier this month, hes right. Pitts three other losses -- to Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech and North Carolina -- were by a combined 11 points.Yet Narduzzi and the Panthers (7-4, 4-3) have done an excellent job of not getting caught up in what might have been. Theyre surging toward the finish line following a 56-14 romp over Duke last weekend that may have been their most complete performance in Narduzzis two-year tenure. And while Pitt still needs to beat Syracuse (4-7, 2-5) to match its eight-win total of last season, the feeling this time around is decidedly different.Without a doubt, its a much better group, Narduzzi said.One that didnt let the raw emotions of disappointment bleed from one Saturday to the next, something Narduzzi credited in part to the maturity of a team featuring 19 seniors and 16 redshirt juniors.It tells you what kind of leadership we have, that (finishing strong) is what theyre talking about, not girls and where theyre going tonight, he said.Knowing the offense is going to find innovative ways to move the ball week in and week out certainly helped.The Panthers have already set a school record for points in a season (432) with two more games to go thanks to the creative tinkering by first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada. A unit that began the year with no proven playmakers at wide receiver is averaging 39.27 points..dddddddddddd. Pitt has thrived behind junior running back James Conner, steady play by senior quarterback Nate Peterman, do-everything wide receiver/returner Quadree Henderson and a seemingly endless variety of formations designed to highlight mismatches and take advantage of a big and experienced offensive line.You come in on Mondays, you dont know what (Canada is) going to throw at you, offensive tackle Adam Bisnowaty said. All the motion we do, you just never know what hes going to do. Sometimes I feel he sits in that offense a little too long (and) draws up some plays that are unreal. They just seem to work.The Panthers have needed them to work while one of the nations worst pass defenses figured things out. Even after holding Duke to 243 yards through the air, Pitt is still 127th in the nation against the pass. Yet that hasnt stopped it from being on the cusp of winning eight games in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2008-2009.Its a different world (than when I got here in 2012), Bisnowaty said. I think the program is about winning ... My first year we won six games or so, last year we won eight. This year we have a chance to win more than that. Its just going back to playing the best football we can play.Game notes Conner was named the winner of the 2016 Disney Sports Spirit Award on Monday. The award is given annually to the nations most inspirational player. Conner was diagnosed with cancer last Thanksgiving and went through months of draining chemotherapy but has returned to the form that helped him capture the 2014 ACC Player of the Year. Conner became the ACCs all-time leading touchdown scorer last week when his two scored against Duke gave him 53 on his career.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
