The top two picks of this year’s NFL Draft went head-to-head on Sunday when the Tennessee Titans took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota went 13 of 16 for 209 yards and four touchdowns. Jameis Winton, on the other hand had his first NFL throw intercepted and ran back for a touchdown.
He would finish going 16 of 33 for 210 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions and two lost fumbles. The opposite performances for the rookies is a pretty good example of how NFL fans feel after the first week of play.
