VIDEO: Marcus Mariota Sacrificing His Body in a Freaking Preseason Game is a Terrible Idea

One of the biggest arguments against preseason football is the massive injury risk it poses to the players. That's why most players take it easy during these meaningless games. Marcus Mariota, however, seemed to miss the memo. The Tennessee Titans quarterback made the terrible decision of sacrificing his body by flipping into the end zone in his game against the Patriots.

Yeah, not a wise decision, especially for a scrambling quarterback with a history of knee issues.

It's all fine and good that he's trying to keep his competitive fire burning, but considering the circumstances, going all out was an absolutely awful idea, and he's lucky that he walked away from that play without an injury.
