Tennessee Titans have fantastic finish as Jake Locker hits Justin Hunter for game-winner with 15 seconds left
He made his first one count.
Hunter was the hero of Tennessee's final thrilling drive against San Diego,
catching a 34-yard pass down the sideline with 15 seconds left to give
the Titans a 20-17 win. For a guy who had never caught a NFL pass,
Hunter showed veteran savvy by pushing off the cornerback just enough to
go up and make the game-winning grab.
Hunter's career got off to a rocky start, and he was a healthy scratch in Week 1. Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker can relate.Locker, who hasn't yet established himself as the clear quarterback of the future three years after Tennessee made him a first-round pick, had perhaps his finest moments in the Titans' game-winning drive against San Diego. Given two minutes and no timeouts, Locker covered 94 yards on the drive, completing 7-of-9 passes (not counting a spike to stop the clock).
And with the game on the line, he turned to the rookie who hadn't made a catch in his career. It was a pretty important highlight for both players.
