· Quarterback Ryan Tannehill and tight end Chig Okonkwo connected for a 41-yard completion in the second quarter. It was the Titans' 11th passing play of 30-plus yards since Week 8 at Houston. Through the early afternoon games of Dec. 4, the Titans' 11 such plays over the six-week span were the most in the NFL.
