After a gut-wrenching loss a week ago, the Tennessee Titans won an overtime thriller on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24.
This was a massive bounce-back game for the offense, and more specifically for Ryan Tannehill, who played extremely well, completing 83 percent of his passes for one touchdown, while also adding another on the ground.
Buy Titans TicketsIt was also a big day from the offseason investments the team made, with a couple of big catches from DeAndre Hopkins at the end of the game and a nice pass breakup by Sean Murphy-Bunting.
However, in the end, it was Nick Folk who secured the win by drilling a game-winning field goal in overtime to go to a perfect 7-of-7 on the year.
As you can probably imagine, Titans Twitter was buzzing after this one, so let’s take a closer look at how media and fans reacted following a thrilling overtime win in the team’s home opener.
I LOVE YOU, NICK FOLK!! 😭

Several of the #Titans’ offseason investments paid huge dividends at the end of the game.
