Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks finally had his breakout game in Week 11, and in the process the rookie wideout showed some swagger after securing a big play over Green Bay Packers corner, Jaire Alexander.
Burks tallied career-highs with seven catches for 111 yards, and two of those grabs were over 40 yards, one of which came on the first drive of the game to help setup Tennessee’s first touchdown.
But with the game pretty much in hand late in the fourth quarter, the Titans and offensive coordinator Todd Downing put an exclamation point on the victory with a 51-yard dime from Ryan Tannehill to Burks.
And that play came at the expense of Alexander, who got roasted by Burks after the play with a “too small” gesture.

To put the cherry on top, it has been surmised that Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was getting back at the Packers for a big play they pulled off late in the 2020 meeting that Green Bay won. You be the judge.

It has been an up-and-down rookie campaign for Burks, who had issues with conditioning this offseason and had gotten off to a quiet start to the regular season.
However, it’s safe to say he has officially arrived after Thursday night.
