Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is rocking defenses—and he’s rocking his Movember mustache.

It’s been a fun season for Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. Ever since the Titans got underrated receiver Kendall Wright back from an injury and finally wised up by starting free agent signing Rishard Matthews, Mariota has flourished statistically. Since Week 4, Mariota has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he continued his brilliance in today’s 27-21 win over the Chicago Bears.

Mariota has been busy getting headlines with his play on the field, but let’s give him a chance to earn a headline for this mustache he’s been working hard on this Movember.

We already saw plenty of “Super MariOta” signs back when Mariota starred for the Oregon Ducks in college, but he really does look like he’s going for the Super Mario look with this stache. Oh, and we also saw a “Borat” reference, which makes sense given the suit. And speaking of the suit, it’s a nice way to show out Titans blue.

Mariota completed 15-of-23 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns against the Bears and he hasn’t thrown an interception in Week 9. What’s more impressive than his interception-less streak, though, is his streak of multi-touchdown performances dating back to his sub-50 percent completion rate debacle against the rival Houston Texans.

It has been a splendid second season from Mariota, who finally has enough help from his skill position players to build on what was a quietly encouraging rookie year. The former No. 2 overall pick has 23 touchdowns to eight picks and over 250 passing yards per game. With this mustache thrown in, he’s clearly the total package for the Titans.
