The Tennessee Titans finally got their second win of the season on Sunday when they defeated the New England Patriots 20-17 in overtime.
It was a frustrating game to watch, even with getting a win. There were a ton of penalties on both teams, turnovers for both teams, head-scratching play calls and a LOT of back-and-forth.
The Titans had a few players who played exceptionally well today. Nick Wesbrook-Ikhine had his best game of the season. Calvin Ridley played well. Tony Pollard carried the load on offense. Jack Gibbens seemed to be everywhere on the field. But there can only be one Player of the Game, and this week it is safety Amani Hooker.
Hooker recorded five tackles (two solo), three passes defensed, one quarterback hit and two interceptions on the day. His second interception is what landed him as this week’s top player because it ended the game and sealed the Titans’ victory.
Now in his sixth season, Hooker has nabbed 10 interceptions in his career and three this season alone. The Titans are going to need a lot more where that came from during the rest of the season to give their offense a better chance at putting points on the board.
