The Tennessee Titans offense has found a new sense of life since Ryan Tannehill took over in Marcus Mariota’s place during Week 6’s shutout loss to the Denver Broncos.
Tannehill has posted a 4-1 overall record as a Titans starter, and has looked more decisive and comfortable at the helm than Mariota did at the start of the season.
And Tannehill is drawing the attention of former NFL quarterbacks — including those who saw time for the two-toned blue in their careers.
One of those names is Matt Hasselbeck, who played for the Titans in 2011 and 2012.
Hasselbeck completed 457-of-739 passes for 4,938 yards and 25 touchdowns with 19 interceptions in his two years with the Titans.
Tannehill is making a case for himself to be the Titans’ long-term starter as he’s completed 97-of-136 passes for 1,161 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions in 2019.
It will be interesting to see if the Titans ultimately give Tannehill a contract extension after the season, or move on and select a promising signal-caller from a talented 2020 NFL Draft class that includes names like Heisman candidate Joe Burrow.
The Titans will face the Indianapolis Colts at noon CT on Sunday in Lucas Oil Stadium.
