y key defenders that the Falcons were missing in last Sunday’s loss to the Steelers Steve Bartkowski Jersey 2019 , but he may be back against the Buccaneers this Sunday.During an appearance on 92.9 The Game on Wednesday morning, Falcons coach Dan Quinn provided an update on Jarrett’s ankle injury. It was positive, although his status for the weekend remains up in the air at this point.“He’s definitely improving,” Quinn said, via the team’s website. “He’s going to work some on the side but no team reps. As we get into the later part of the week Black Steve Bartkowski Jersey , I’ll have a better assessment. We’re definitely not ruling him out based on the work that he’s putting in.”Jarrett’s presence wouldn’t make up for all the other losses that the Falcons have taken on defense this year, but it might be enough to give them a chance to outscore the only team in the league allowing more points per game than they have. The Tennessee Titans dominated just about every facet of their 34-10 win over the New England Patriots, and even did a bit of trolling along the way.Titans head coach Mike Vrabel played linebacker for the Patriots for eight seasons, winning three Super Bowls along the way. So it probably wasn’t meant as disrespect when Vrabel hit his former coach, Bill Belichick Chris Lindstrom Atlanta Falcons Jersey , with a little gamesmanship Sunday. When the Patriots called a trick play late in the game, the Titans responded with the same exact call two plays later just to show they could do it better.The play did end up looking better when the Titans did it — which isn’t too surprising considering it relied on the playmaking ability of each team’s quarterback:Marcus Mariota is more athletic than Tom Brady. Duh.Early in the fourth quarter, the Patriots pulled out a little misdirection on a play that ended with a 6-yard pass from Julian Edelman to Tom Brady. He was pretty wide open, but he didn’t get a first down, mostly because Brady tripped over his own feet.It didn’t look natural. Even Brady admitted that after the game.Brady came up one yard short of a first down and a false start on the next play essentially negated the entire play for the Patriots. New England failed to convert a fourth-and-6 on the next play 2019 Chris Lindstrom Jersey , and the Titans took over on downs.Tennessee didn’t wait at all to make the Patriots look bad. They dialed up their version of the pass on the very first play of their ensuing drive, picking up 21 yards on a completion from Darius Jennings to Marcus Mariota.While it wasn’t as open, Mariota still managed to get up field quickly and carry New England cornerback Jason McCourty for a big gain.The game turned out to be a signature win for Vrabel and the Titans. The mirror trick plays also made the win a rare part of NFL history, as it’s not every day two quarterbacks catch a pass in a game:That rare feat would’ve happened in the Super Bowl in February if a pass to Brady hadn’t been dropped. The Titans aren’t the first to antagonize the PatriotsBrady’s drop against the Eagles landed the Patriots on the receiving end of some trolling too. Philadelphia called the Patriots’ failed Super Bowl trick play in Week 1 of this season just to show they could pull it off successfully.It seems everyone loves to take a shot at the team that has been king of the NFL for much of the last two decades when they get a chance. At least in the case of Vrabel, it probably wasn’t personal. That can’t be said for every member of the Titans Chris Lindstrom Atlanta Falcons Jersey , though.With the loss, the Patriots dropped to 7-3 on the year, but there isn’t much reason for them to panic. They’ll be back and the Patriots will likely be tough to deal with in January, like always. But maybe it’s time to rip all pass plays to Brady out of the playbook. They’re just inviting the Patriots to get clowned.
