Delanie Walker wants to see Marcus Mariota sometimes ignore what the coaching staff might call on a particular offensive play for the Tennessee Titans.

Mariota rushed for 60 yards in this past Sunday's playoff-clinching win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"Sometimes you've got to play backyard football," Walker said. "Sometimes you've got to overcome coaching. And I think that's what makes some players great, when they know how to do that. ... Marcus, basically, a play was broken. He made a play on his own. He didn't find nobody else, so he took off running, and that's basically what he did."

Walker's use of the phrase "overcome coaching" may not sound great, but Mike Mularkey didn't have an issue with it. He said the team is "at that point right now when every man needs to do whatever he can" to get a win.
