Did anybody else just hear on the "Baseball Tonight" pregame that the Orioles vs Royals has been moved to ESPN2? Apparently this is because of the U.S. Open Tennis being delayed and going late on regular ESPN.

For only the 2nd time in NFL history, a quarterback making his debut threw 4 touchdown passes in the game.

Incredibly, Marcus Mariota accomplished the feat by halftime. :eektf:

After that, he and his Titans had little reason to throw the ball, and they coasted to a 42-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Here is a flashback to young Fran Tarkenton's NFL debut back in September of 1961, as his Minnesota Vikings won their first game ever in franchise history over the Chicago Bears, 37-13:
