NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota officially is questionable for Tennessee's regular season finale against Indianapolis with a playoff berth on the line. Mariota has been limited in back-to-back practices after a stinger affected his right, throwing arm. If Mariota can't play, backup Blaine Gabbert would start his third game this season for the Titans against the Colts with the winner clinching at worst an AFC wild-card slot.

He says Buffalo's season finale against Miami on Sunday will be his last game. He closed his statement by saying: "I could not be more grateful to retire as a lifelong Buffalo Bill. One last time, I'll see you on the field on Sunday."
