Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons scored his first career touchdown during the Week 11 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
It didn’t end up mattering, as the Titans got blown out by the Jaguars in a 34-14 loss, but it was still fun to see Simmons find pay dirt in the losing effort.
With Tennessee down 34-7 in the fourth quarter, quarterback Will Levis dialed up a pass to the defensive lineman, who secured the catch for the touchdown.
We’ve seen the Titans use Simmons as a blocker this season and he has been hoping to get the ball at some point. The Titans checked that box for him on Sunday.

With the way the Titans’ offense is playing, maybe they should be giving Simmons more looks at wide receiver.
As you’d expect, Titans fans and media weren’t as excited as they would’ve been had the team actually shown up in Week 11. Here’s the reaction:
Jeffery Simmons deserves that for being one of the only guys who looks interested in playing football today. #Titans

Jeffery Simmons with the TD reception. That would be a really cool moment for the #Titans if they weren't down 20 points with 5 minutes left.

First career TD catch by 2-time Pro Bowl DL Jeffery Simmons. He's talked a long time about how good his hands are. He just showed it off. #bigmantd
