Titans to Start Mason Rudolph Against Jaguars, Likely Next Week As Well
While Oklahoma State football is dealing with the craziness that is the transfer portal, the Tennessee Titans have finally realized former Cowboy standout Mason Rudolph gives them their best option to win.
Rudolph started this past weekend in the 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, where he went 23-of-34 for 252 yards with two touchdowns. He, unfortunately, also finished with three interceptions.
"I think he's earned himself another shot to play, and he did a lot of good things in the game," said Titans head coach Brian Callahan. "Obviously the one interception was probably his only really poor moment. The rest of it was pretty well executed on his part and operated in a drop-back passing game and had to fight his way back through it. And it was good to see. So, we'll let him take another crack at it."
That makes two starts in a row for Rudolph, the fifth overall on the season, with the Titans likely to give him the start in the final game of the season against the flex game against the Texans on either Jan. 4 or Jan. 5, depending on what the league decides.
In the seven games he’s played in this season, Rudolph has completed 120-of-188 passes for 1,267 yards with eight touchdowns and eight picks.
Rudolph has his chance to get the 3-12 Titans out of the basement of the AFC South as they travel to Jacksonville to face the 3-12 Jaguars. With two games remaining on the schedule, the Titans have a chance to finish third in the division ahead of the Jags.
