Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has revealed that he was delighted with his and his side's performance in their opening-day win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 21-year-old had a strong debut for Ken Whisenhunt's men as he threw for four touchdown passes in the game to record a perfect quarterback rating in the 42-14 triumph over the Buccaneers.
He told reporters: "It felt great. I'm proud of the guys in the locker room. We worked hard all week to be able to execute well, and to be successful is good for us.
"The entire offense played well. I'm very fortunate to be a part of the group that I am. The entire group just went out and executed, and we had some success today.
"The entire offense was kind of on the same page. If we can continue to do that, we can be pretty good this year."
The Titans selected Mariota with the second overall pick in the 2015 Draft.
