Did he or didn’t Amani Hooker make a clean interception of the Joe Burrow pass to Samaje Perine in the third quarter of the Bengals-Titans game on Saturday?
The ball wound up in the hands of Hooker and after a long review, the call on the field stood.
The Titans had the ball and a major break in the playoff game.

It didn’t take long after that for Ryan Tannehill to find A.J. Brown on a 33-yard touchdown pass with 15 seconds left in the third quarter.

The game was tied at 16 after Mike Vrabel went one the PAT … this time.
It was an infrequent pick by Burrow to say the least.
Burrow’s pick was his first interception since Week 13. Prior to the interception, he had thrown 13 TD passes before his last pick.
