Titans v. Rams Second Half Observations
Final Score: Titans 27 – Rams 14
Case Keenum Made His Case for Back-Up Job
A lot worked well for Case Keenum tonight, making his positioning in the back-up competition more in his favor. Austin Davis got very limited snaps, while Keenum threw for over 160 yards in his opportunities.
Dorial Green-Beckham Left His Mark
When Mettenberger came into the game, the rookie Green-Beckham showed great chemistry with his quarterback. Multiple side line catches to stop the clock in the two-minute drill helped lead the Titans down the field towards a scoring opportunity. While his past is still a shadow, the future is bright for Dorial Green-Beckham.
Zach Mettenberger Raised His Trade Value
Connecting with receivers across the field, the sophomore finished with a 145.8 QBR, including a tight window touchdown to the back of the end zone.
Zach Mettenberger: still throwing TDs into really, really, really tight spaces for the @Titans. #STLvsTEN http://t.co/JQvRg8t4Ey

I suggested the Jets make a phone call, but ESPN’s Louis Riddick says at least five teams should be calling Tennessee: Jets, Bills, Texans, Bears, Redskins.
Foles Needs to Work on Receiver Chemistry
His pick-six pass intended for Kenny Britt was one of many passes that didn’t go where the receiver was heading. Foles showed success in Philadelphia with Chip Kelly and always talks about how hard it was to leave because of the relationships he built in Philly. Its time for him to find new ones in St. Louis, especially after signing a two-year extension.
Titans Have a Bright Future
With this decisive victory tonight, the Titans showed they have an immense amount of young talent to build around. Look out for them over the next couple years as they develop those young guys and bring in more talent.
