Titans vs. Vikings Player of the Game: WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

The Tennessee Titans hosted the Minnesota Vikings at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday in Week 11 action.

Before the game ever started, the Titans were fighting an uphill battle. The Vikings have a decent offense and a stout defense with a 7-2 record, while the Titans have struggled to acclimate to Brian Callahan’s scheme.

Still, the Titans fought hard, had two takeaways, and looked like they might be turning into an actual team. But the unforced errors, the penalties, and the turnovers are what truly hurt them today.

Still, there was one player who stood out this week with exceptional play. This week’s Player of the Game is Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Westbrook-Ikhine may not have caught all of the passes that went his way today, but he did record two catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown reception came on a play where the line of scrimmage was Tennessee’s two-yard line.

Will Levis dropped back into the end zone looking for a deep ball and found Westbrook-Ikhine down the field. Mr. Reliable caught the pass and did the rest.

Westbrook-Ikhine has become a favorite target for Levis, right behind Calvin Ridley. They were both targeted six times today with Ridley catching four passes for 58 yards.

The Titans next face the Houston Texans on the road.
