NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans head into the second half of the season believing theyre right in the playoff mix now that theyve already exceeded their win total from last year.For Gus Bradley and the Jacksonville Jaguars, the future is much less certain.Marcus Mariota threw two touchdown passes and DeMarco Murray rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown Thursday night as the Titans breezed to a 36-22 victory over the Jaguars . The Titans led 27-0 at halftime and scored on six straight possessions during one stretch.The Titans are 4-4 at the halfway point of the season, a major step forward for a franchise that went 2-14 in 2014 and 3-13 last year. Theyve won three of their last four and have a chance to play meaningful games down the stretch if they maintain this momentum.Were just sick and tired of losing, man, Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan said. Sick and tired of being a pushover in this division. I think weve had some games that were close and (we) shouldnt even be .500. We should be over .500.The Jaguars arent feeling nearly as good about themselves.A poor performance in a prime-time showcase will turn up the heat on Jaguars coach Gus Bradley, who is in his fourth season and owns a 14-41 record . The Jaguars (2-5) had to score two touchdowns in the last 3 1/2 minutes just to make the final margin respectable.The first half was inexcusable, Bradley said. We didnt come out to play. I dont know what the answer is. Do we play with some anxiety? Yeah, I can say I felt like we pressed too much, but some of the plays that werent being made had nothing to do with anxiety.I dont know if its focus. We have a high standard, and we didnt meet that standard.Here are some things to know about the Jaguars and Titans:MURRAY, HENRY FORMING DYNAMIC DUO: The Titans acquired Murray and drafted 2015 Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry because they believed a physical running attack could help them turn things around. Those moves are paying off so far. Murray has rushed for 756 yards and already has exceeded the total from his disappointing 2015 season in Philadelphia. Henry rushed for 60 yards against the Jaguars and scored his first touchdown. Murray hurt a toe late in the first half but returned to the game.MARIOTA AT HOME: The Titans quarterback had the best home performance of his career. Mariota had been just 2-8 at home since Tennessee drafted him No. 2 overall out of Oregon in 2015, and he had at least one turnover in each home game this season until Thursday night. Mariota was credited for a fumble on the opening drive for a 12-yard loss, but left guard Brian Schwenke recovered the ball. Mariotas 148.1 passer rating was the second-highest of his career.MARIOTA LENDS HELPING HAND: Mariota helped the Titans even when he wasnt throwing or carrying the ball. On Murrays 14-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, Mariota attempted a downfield block to help clear the path to the end zone.Hes a team-first guy, Murray said. He doesnt care about his stats or anything really. Obviously, he doesnt care about his body either, but weve got to talk about that. It was a huge play by him. Hes our leader and to see him do that, its pretty special.Mariota downplayed his role in Murrays touchdown. He really did all the work, Mariota said. I just kind of got in the way.JAGUARS STRUGGLING TO RUN: The Jaguars came in ranked 30th in the NFL running the ball, and their struggles continued Thursday as they ran only 11 times for 48 yards.Bortles ended up rushing for a team-high 22 yards. Chris Ivory had four carries for just 6 yards, and T.J. Yeldon ran three times for 20 yards.BORTLES BOUNCES BACK (OR DOES HE?): Bradley said earlier this week that he firmly, firmly believes in his third-year quarterback. Bortles responded by throwing for 337 yards with three touchdowns, but most of those yards came with the Titans playing prevent defense.In the first half, Bortles was just 8 of 16 for 64 yards.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Zapatillas Adidas Baratas Outlet España .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way.

Luiten, who entered the day with a three-stroke lead, shot a 71 to finish at 17-under 271 on the Diamond Country Club course. "Its a great feeling, its been a great week," said Luiten, whose previous win came at the Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia in November 2011, two months after finishing third in Atzenbrugg. The victory was Luitens third European Tour top-10 finish of the season and 20th overall. The win will raise his world ranking from 137th to just inside the top 100. Thomas Bjorn of Denmark (68) finished second at 15 under. Liang Wen-chong of China (66) and Romain Wattel of France (69) shared third, another stroke off the pace. Luiten bogeyed the first hole but led throughout the day. His closest challengers after the third round, Spaniards Jorge Campillo (72) and Eduardo de la Riva (73), failed to threaten. "It was a long day. It started off with a bogey but I hit the ball nice," Luiten said. "I made some mistakes on the greens, I didnt make a lot of putts. Luckily I made a birdie on the 16th, and its always nice to finish with par and par." At the event two yeaars ago, Luiten also led for most of the final round.dddddddddddd But he bogeyed the last hole and finished third, trailing winner Kenneth Ferrie of England by one stroke. This time, the Dutchman had a solid finish to his round to keep Bjorn, who followed up Saturdays 64 with a 68, at a distance. Before Luiten teed off on the 14th hole, play was suspended for an hour because of thunderclouds. "At that time I wanted to play on, but I think it was good to have a break," Luiten said. "I wasnt playing really well before the break, so I got some food and tried to focus again." Defending champion Bernd Wiesberger shot a 69 to tie for 14th at 8 under, missing a chance to qualify for the U.S. Open. Wiesberger made a bogey on the 18th hole. As it turned out, he would have needed a birdie to pass Kyle Stanley in the world ranking and have a chance to get into the top 60. Sunday was the last day for the top 60 to be exempt for the U.S. Open, which starts Thursday at Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia. "The bogey on the 18th was very disappointing," said Wiesberger, who needed a top-10 finish to stand a reasonable chance of qualifying. "Ive just made too many mistakes the whole week." ' ' '
