2. Cameron Wake Safety/100th sack of Career

Cameron Wake was an absolute force in Cleveland. He made his presence felt for someone who only played 24 snaps. Browns tackle Chris Hubbard could not block Wake all day as the Titans pass -rusher consistently bent around the edge with ease in order to cause havoc in the backfield.

He did that on this play, which was his 100th career sack and resulted in a safety for the Titans.

Wake directly provided the Titans with two points on this play as he laid a vicious hit on QB Baker Mayfield in the end zone for his second sack of the day and the 100th of his illustrious career.

Wake’s 2.5 sacks in Week 1 are already more than the Titans got from both of their starting edge rushers combined during the entire 2018 season. The money spent on Wake is already paying dividends for the Titans.
