NASHVILLE
Ben Jones Jersey , Tenn. (AP) — Tom Brady added another big chunk of NFL history to his resume.The Tennessee Titans made sure the Patriots quarterback
didn't finish his 300th game by hitting him over and over again.The Titans
sacked Brady three times and hit him six more times as they beat New England
34-10 Sunday, snapping a seven-game skid against the Patriots in Mike Vrabel's
first game as head coach against the team he helped win three Super Bowls. It
was the most sacks allowed in a game this season by the Patriots (7-3), and
coach Bill Belichick pulled Brady for Brian Hoyer midway through the fourth
quarter."You got to make Tom blink, and if you make him blink and have to go to
a second read you got a chance," Vrabel said of his former teammate. "But if you
let him rip it to the first guy he looks at, it's going to be a long day."Asked
if he thought Brady was effective, Belichick said to ask Brady."It was just a
bad day for all of us," Brady said.Only Brett Favre (326) has played in more
games, both regular season and postseason, as a quarterback than Brady. The
three-time NFL MVP also needed only three touchdown passes to tie Peyton Manning
(579) for the NFL record for most TD passes all time for both the regular season
and postseason.Brady left having thrown for 254 yards and no TD passes. The
Titans outgained the Patriots 385-284, holding New England to just 40 yards
rushing. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard, who had 1½ sacks, said that allowed them to
get after Brady."Coach Vrabel said make them pay for everything

each of the first two drives with TD passes, and Derrick Henry ran for a pair of
TDs. Ryan Succop also added two field goals as the Titans (5-4) scored a season
high in points after jumping out to a 17-3 lead in the first quarter. They now
have beaten both of last season's Super Bowl teams in Nashville.The loss snaps a
six-game winning streak going into New England's bye. The Patriots, who routed
the Titans 35-14 in January, also lost to Tennessee for the first time since
Dec. 16, 2002.Darius Jennings opened the game with a 58-yard kickoff return, and
Mariota capped the drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Jonnu Smith. The Titans never
trailed again.The Titans came in with the NFL's stingiest scoring defense and
also leading the league in fewest touchdowns allowed in the red zone. They held
the Patriots to a pair of 52-yard field-goal attempts by Stephen Gostkowski, who
missed his second wide left. James Develin scored on a 1-yard TD run early in
the second, which pulled New England within 17-10.Brady looked ready to pull off
another amazing comeback, driving the Pats to the Titans 37. The Titans stopped
Brady a yard shy of the first down after catching a pass from Julian Edelman. A
false start followed, then Logan Ryan, a former New England cornerback, broke up
a Brady pass to Edelman to turn the ball over.On the very next play
DaQuan Jones Jersey , Vrabel called his own trick play with Jennings throwing to a wide-open Mariota for a 21-yard gain.Hoyer replaced Brady on the next
drive.EX-PATS CONNECTIONSTennessee fired coach Mike Mularkey after the January
playoff loss and hired Vrabel to try to recreate the Patriots' winning ways with
the Titans. Vrabel hired Dean Pees, a former Patriots linebackers coach and
defensive coordinator, as his defensive coordinator. General manager Jon
Robinson, who started in New England, signed cornerback Malcolm Butler and
running back Dion Lewis in free agency."That's what happens when you go cheap,"
Lewis said. "You get your (expletive) kicked."RARE BRADY CATCHBrady's catch was
just the third of his career and first since Dec. 6, 2015, when he caught a
36-yarder from Danny Amendola against Philadelphia. At 41, Brady became the
oldest player with a catch since Jerry Rice had 30 at the age of 42. Brady
slipped at the end and said he didn't know what happened."It was ‘fish out of
water,'" Brady said.Mariota also has three receptions, including catching his
own pass in the playoffs last January. Vrabel said Mariota got up faster than
Brady did. Mariota said he had one thought on his reception: "Just catch
it."INJURIESPatriots left tackle Trent Brown missed the final drive of the first
half and was announced as questionable to return because of illness. LaAdrian
Waddle replaced him for that series, but Brown returned for the first start of
the third quarter. Brown left later in the third quarter with an injured back.
Edelman hurt an ankle and didn't return. Tight end Dwayne Allen also hurt a knee
in the third quarter.Titans running back David Fluellen picked up 16 yards on
back-to-back runs, then went down untouched on the next play with a knee
injury.UP NEXTPatriots: Bye
http://www.thetitanslockerroom.com/authentic-derrick-morgan-jersey , then visit Jets on Nov. 25.Titans: Visit Indianapolis. Officials should have
penalized Dolphins defensive lineman William Hayes for the hit that injured
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, the NFL told Titans coach Mike Vrabel, via
Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com.Vrabel sent the NFL a list of 10 plays he
questioned from the third preseason game, and the NFL admitted eight were
incorrect, per Kuharsky. Hayes’ hit left the Titans concerned about their
starting quarterback’s throwing elbow.But the Titans listed Mariota as a full
participant at Wednesday’s practice and is expected to start Sunday against
Houston.??e?? feeling good,” Vrabel said, via Terry McCormick of
titaninsider.com. “He was able to practice. He had some rest there Monday and
Tuesday, so he was able to get through and do everything and really be OK. I
would say that barring any setbacks, Marcus is gonna be good to go on
Sunday.”Mariota said he was “feeling pretty good” after Wednesday’s work.“Kind
of taking it one day at a time, but I was able to go through practice today and
it felt pretty good,??Mariota said.
