Clash of Titans, Texans loses its meaning (Yahoo Sports)

The Tennessee Titans' hopes of a surprise AFC South championship were already in serious trouble before quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a fractured fibula in the third quarter of last week's 38-17 loss at Jacksonville. After becoming one of the NFL's best stories in the previous two weeks with gritty wins over Denver and Kansas City to give it a real chance at winning the division, Tennessee erased those performances with a brutal 60 minutes against a 3-12 team. Coach Mike Mularkey believes that will be enough of a motivator to summon up a winning effort.
