Due in large part to injuries throughout their defense, the Tennessee Titans have not been great against the pass this season. The Titans came into Week 15’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers having allowed 25 touchdowns to just eight interceptions, 3,928 passing yards, and an opponent passer rating of 97.2. All of those stats rank among the fourth-worst in the NFL, and it’s a big reason the Titans are 7-6 with a three-game losing streak coming into the Chargers game.
So, with 12 seconds left in the first half, and the score tied, 7-7, Titans cornerback Roger McCreary decided to do something you rarely, if ever, see. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert tried to hit receiver Mike Williams in the end zone, but McCreary caught the ball as he was going out of bounds, and while he was in the air, handed the ball to cornerback Joshua Kalu.
