Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears found pay dirt for the first time in his career during the Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
After a quiet first half for the Titans’ offense, quarterback Ryan Tannehill and Co. quickly drove down the field to start the second half thanks to a few big completions to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Buy Titans TicketsWith Tennessee in the red zone, offensive coordinator Tim Kelly drew up an end around to the rookie running back, who turned the corner with impressive explosiveness and weaved through defenders for six.
With the touchdown, the Titans took a 13-10 lead.

Here’s how social media reacted to the run.
Tyjae Spears got fast fast, 19-yard TD run that puts the #Titans up 13-10.
Great first series out of the locker room with 16- and 36-yard passes to DeAndre Hopkins.

First of MANY Tyjae Spears touchdowns for the #Titans
Huge block by Chig Okonkwo and NWI. Spears took care of two Colts defenders on his own as well.

How much of Tyjae Spears' success has come from the #Titans drawing the defense towards Derrick Henry? Great play call by Tim Kelly.
