NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marcus Mariota is feeling more comfortable with every game that passes with the Tennessee Titans.Considering how hes performed through just 22 career games, thats news the rest of the AFC South and NFL likely dont want to hear.Hes just getting better and better as we go, Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews said Wednesday of Mariota. I think thats showing. I think hes going to continue to get better. I dont think weve even seen the best of him yet, so thats kind of scary actually.Mariota was chosen AFC Offensive Player of the Week Wednesday after throwing for 295 yards and four touchdowns in a 47-25 win over the Green Bay Packers -- his third such award.The quarterback credited tight end Delanie Walker and running back DeMarco Murray along with his offensive line with helping him put up such numbers.Im really just kind of a result of that, Mariota said.With his latest performance, Mariota became the first quarterback in NFL history to score four total touchdowns in six of his first 22 career starts. Its just part of the numbers the No. 2 pick overall out of Oregon in 2015 has been compiling.Mariota ranks fifth all-time for most TD passes (33) before turning 23 on Oct. 30, behind Drew Bledsoe and Fran Tarkenton (40), Jameis Winston (39) and Josh Freeman (35). Mariota already has two of the franchises top three games in terms of passer rating, a stat that doesnt include his perfect 158.3 rating in his NFL debut because he didnt throw at least 20 passes.He also has matched Warren Moons 1987 franchise record with at least two TD passes in six straight games, a mark Mariota will have a chance to take for himself Sunday when the Titans (5-5) visit Indianapolis (4-5).Inside an opponents 20, Mariota is second only to Brady (130.8) in passer rating at 116.4, having thrown 15 touchdowns. Only Drew Brees of New Orleans (19) has more.Yes, Mariota is getting more and more comfortable each week.Youre seeing things for a lot of times a second or third time, Mariota said. As I continue to grow, I think things will continue to slow down.Against Green Bay, Mariota completed his first 10 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with a 149.8 passer rating.Titans coach Mike Mularkey notes how Tennessee needs the quarterback playing at his best level. Mularkey explained how Mariota threw the ball away when needed and didnt try to do too much.Weve improved in a lot of areas that have helped him get to that point, Mularkey said.Mariota now has 17 touchdowns and three interceptions over his past six games, along with two TDs rushing. That gives him a 119 passer rating second in the NFL to Tom Brady (125.5) in that span. Colts coach Chuck Pagano saw Mariota Oct. 23 when Indianapolis pulled out a 34-26 win and called the quarterback a great game manager.He can beat you with his arm. He can beat you with his legs. Hes making great decisions ... Pagano said. And hes being efficient, hes taking care of the football, and theyre spreading things around. Hes playing with a great deal of confidence right now, as well as everybody around him.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Dominic Leone Jersey .

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Rich Hill didnt last very long in what was supposed to be a key start for the Athletics pitcher.With about a dozen major league scouts in attendance to check out the Oakland lefty -- a potential trade candidate -- Hill threw just five pitches before a blister on the middle finger of his left hand popped and forced him out of the game.Things didnt get much better after that for manager Bob Melvins ballclub.Former As third baseman Josh Donaldson hit a tiebreaking two-run double with two outs in the ninth and the Toronto Blue Jays held on to beat Oakland 5-3 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep.Its just disappointing, thats the biggest thing, said Hill, who had been scratched from a scheduled start on Friday because of the blister issue. It opened up pretty good. It was bleeding. Its pretty raw right now.Hill wasnt the only As pitcher hurting.His replacement, Andrew Triggs, was hit in the leg by a line drive from Donaldson moments after Hill was taken out. Triggs finished the inning, giving up an unearned run when left fielder Khris Davis misplayed Edwin Encarnacions single for an error, before Melvin brought in Manaea.Oakland used seven pitchers overall.After losing two pitchers in the first inning with a limited bullpen to start, we played pretty well, Melvin said. We responded pretty well. Nice little fight until the end.Troy Tulowitzki homered while Russell Martin and Justin Smoak added two hits apiece for Toronto.Marcus Semien homered for the As.Smoak and Junior Lake hit consecutive one-out singles off John Axford (3-3) in the ninth.dddddddddddd Devon Travis struck out looking before Donaldson lined a 2-1 pitch down the left field line to drive in pinch-runner Andy Burns and Lake.We desperately needed that as a team, Toronto manager John Gibbons said. We had the little lead, they came back and tied it. Thats a big win for us.Jason Grilli (3-1) retired three batters for the win. Roberto Osuna pitched the ninth for his 19th save.Tulowitzki hit his 16th home run of the season off Sean Manaea in the fourth.Semien homered and Yonder Alonso added a tying pinch-hit two-run double in the sixth.OPEN SPOTManaea was scheduled to start Tuesday but the As will likely have to find someone else after the rookie left-hander threw 69 pitches over five innings of relief. Manaea threw a bullpen session on Saturday so it would be a stretch to ask him to come back on one day of rest. Melvin also ruled out using Hill in that spot. He wont be on Tuesday, Melvin said. Well figure something out in the meantime.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: Triggs was diagnosed with a bruised left calf. ...
