characterization of the sales of the Curry 3.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Justin Ellis Jersey . -- 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 ;Ray Lewis Jersey . Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set. Trent Dilfer Jersey .

Under Armour lost nearly $600 million of its value as a company Friday, as its stock plummeted by more than 4 percent after the CEO of a major footwear retailer said the latest version of its Steph Curry shoe wasnt doing as well as expected.Foot Locker CEO Dick Johnson said the Curry 3 started off a bit slower than the previous models, causing a sell-off in the stock market.While Currys products make up only about 5 percent ($200 million) of Under Armours total annual business, he is the companys most prominent endorser.Johnson said on Foot Lockers earnings call that the basketball shoe market was softer than in the past, though he did say the Curry 2 and Curry 2.5 shoes, as well as Nikes Kyrie Irving line, were able to break through.Johnson also said its still early days to completely judge the Curry 3. As of Tuesday, the Curry 3 has will have been on sale for a month.Were optimistic that they [Under Armour] are going to be able to continue to keepp that [footwear business] with some momentum behind it and certainly expand their footwear offerings, Johnson said. Trace McSorley Jersey. A spokesperson for Under Armour said the company would not comment on Johnsons characterization of the sales of the Curry 3.The shoe faces two challenges: The first is its price. Under Armour raised the price of the Curry 3 to $140 a pair. Thats an increase of $20 from the Curry 1 and $10 from the Curry 2.Second, when he plays, Curry wears a shoe with a higher profile in order to protect his ankle. Nearly 80 percent of the people who wear basketball shoes do so for fashion, and lower-profile shoes are more popular.There will be low-profile versions of the Curry 3 shoe, which Curry wears during warm-ups, but the market distribution of those shoes, versus those he wears in games, is not yet clear.
