A 14-yard Marcus Mariota touchdown run on the first drive of the second half gave the Titans their first lead, at 21-19, but the Chargers answered with a 1-yard touchdown run by Melvin Gordon to take the lead back.
The Chargers lead, 26-21.
The Titans trailed 16-0 in the second quarter. They scored consecutive touchdowns after Mariota closed the first half with his second touchdown pass of the day to Rishard Matthews then ran it in to start the second half. The Chargers dominated the first 28 minutes and have dominated the time of possession, but the Titans’ offense is playing with confidence.
Gordon is the first opposing running back to rush for more than 100 yards on the Titans this season and is up to nine touchdowns on the season. Philip Rivers threw two first-half touchdown passes.
The Chargers announced that wide receiver Jeremy Butler, who injured his ankle early in the game, will not return.
