VIDEO: AJ Brown Defends Marcus Mariota by Wearing His Jersey
By Michael Luciano
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota remains a polarizing figure inside and outside of Tennessee. Just when you're ready to give up on him, he throws three touchdown passes and looks every bit like the franchise quarterback he was hyped up to be. In a show of solidarity with his quarterback, Titans receiver AJ Brown, quickly becoming one of Mariota's favorite targets, wore his jersey to the stadium before they face off against the Buffalo Bills.

Brown and Mariota will both need to bring their A-game against the Bills, as Sean McDermott's team holds one of the finest overall defensive units in football.
Brown, a second-round pick out of Ole Miss, has picked up 223 yards and two touchdowns in his first four games, and is becoming a reliable presence over the middle that Mariota and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith are trusting more with each passing game.

Mariota and the Titans are still very much contenders to win the AFC South. To do so, he and Brown will need to be in lockstep to keep this passing attack riding high after a standout performance against the Atlanta Falcons.
