But worth watching is the continued maturation of football’s youthful quarterback vanguard. In this case, that means watching Marcus Mariota (Titans) and Blake Bortles (Jaguars) illustrate growth in spite of the teams that surround them. Bortles has a beat-up receiving corps, but has shown improvement and flashes of true promise this season. Mariota, meanwhile, has done enough to tell Titans brass they had to cut ties with former coach Ken Whisenhunt to save the future. So as Titans and Jaguars fans have often had to hear on Sundays in December, this is a game about looking to the future. But at least this time, maybe (stop me if you’ve heard this before), that future actually does look less-hypothetically bright.
