Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill provided a huge spark for his team during the third quarter of the Week 16 contest against the Green Bay Packers.
With the Titans trailing 19-7 and near midfield, Tannehill faked a handoff to running back Derrick Henry and promptly busted off a 45-yard touchdown run up the middle to cut the Packers’ lead to 19-14.
It was a huge score for the Titans, who looked to be dead in the first half after falling behind 19-0. However, Tennessee was able to score right before the half and then came out and scored on the first possession of the third quarter thanks to Tannehill’s scamper.

Unfortunately for the Titans, the momentum from Tannehill’s touchdown run didn’t last long, as the Packers came right out on the next drive and answered with a touchdown of their own.
Tennessee now trails Green Bay 26-14 with a over 10 minutes left in the third quarter.
