The struggling Tennessee Titans needed an offensive spark, so they’re making a quarterback change.

Marcus Mariota will be benched in favor of Ryan Tannehill, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

The 2-4 Titans, who play host to the 2-4 Chargers this Sunday, have scored just seven points in their last two losses. They fell 14-7 to the Bills two weeks ago, and 16-0 to the Broncos on Sunday. They have not scored more than 24 points since their opening-day 43-13 blowout win over the Browns.

This move is not such a surprise after head coach Mike Vrabel yanked the 2015 second-overall pick Mariota, who already threw two interceptions, in the third quarter for Tannehill in the loss to the Broncos. The former Miami Dolphins quarterback went 13-for-16 for 144 yards and led the Titans to their only trips into the red zone, but an interception and a turnover on downs prevented Tennessee from scoring.

Tennessee acquired Tannehill, along with a 2019 sixth-round draft pick, from Miami this offseason in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft and a seventh-round pick in 2019. Tannehill signed a one-year deal with the Titans worth $7 million with up to $12 million in incentives to facilitate the trade.

Mariota has been the Titans’ unquestioned starter for the past few seasons, but the team was prepared to rally around Tannehill based on some of their comments Monday.

“Ryan was an elite QB in this league not longer than a year ago. He can take over a team,” tight end Delanie Walker told reporters Monday. “He can make plays.”

“It’s a tough situation because I think this entire team is and has always been behind No. 8,” safety Kevin Byard said. “As long as we’ve been here, that’s been my guy. I support him throughout everything. But that’s a coach’s decision. If they feel like No. 17 can give us the best opportunity to win ball games, I understand they’ll make the decision they feel is best for our team.”

Mariota is 29-32 in 61 starts.
