Drive 7

After the Chargers settled for a field goal to make a three-point game, the Titans started their seventh drive of the game from their own 25.

Henry would pick up three yards on first down, and on second-and-7, Ryan Tannehill would find Davis for a five-yard game, and on third-and-two, Tannehill would find Davis over the middle for a huge first down that would go deep into Chargers’ territory, up to the 28 to be exact.

The next play, Tannehill escaped the pocket and picked up six yards on the play. On second-and -four Henry would pick up a first down on an 8 yard gain.

Two plays later, Henry would take a toss play 11-yards for a touchdown, which would give the Titans a two-possession lead.

Parkey would make the following extra point, making it 23-13.

Tanneehill was two-of-two for 43 yards and a first down, along with six yards on a scramble. The second throw to Davis was another one he fit into a tight window. Tannehill has been smart about the passes he’s forced into tight windows, and is showing that either he’s not afraid of making a mistake, or that he has enough confidence in himself to make those throws.
