During the first half of Sunday’s game between the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants, quarterback Marcus Mariota absolutely leveled linebacker Alec Ogletree.
Lined up as a receiver on this play, Mariota blocked Ogletree, decleating him with a vicious hit in the process.

Marcus Mariota just decleated a defender. πͺπͺπͺ. Not the first time heβs done it either. He was lined up at WR on a wildcat play and somehow it ended up going all the way outside to him
