Pats throttle Titans

Betting favorites did not get off to a good start in these NFL playoffs, going 0-5 against the spread through Saturday afternoon. Then came the Patriots, who beat the Titans by three touchdowns in the nightcap after being favored by "only" two touchdowns. Formerly embattled Titans coach Mike Mularkey will have a long offseason to wonder (aloud) what might have been; Tennessee led 7-0 after the first quarter, and Mularkey spent much of his postgame press time explaining how much his team's offensive scheme had changed after QB MARCUS MARIOTA sustained a quad injury in that first quarter. Looked from here like the defense might have changed, too. New England scored the next 35 points.
