Winner No. 3: A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown has made an extremely strong case for being the Offensive Rookie of the Year, especially with his absolutely ridiculous catch early on in the fourth quarter.

Brown had another big day, finishing with 124 yards on four catches, along with a 51-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown.

He eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving early in the second quarter after catching a pass from Marcus Mariota, who was in the game in a wildcat-like formation. He is the first Titans wide receiver to eclipse the total since Kendall Wright did it in 2013.

In total, Brown finished his rookie season with 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns on 52 receptions, as well as a rushing touchdown.

All season long, Brown has developed into one of the best overall play makers, let alone receivers, in the NFL. It sure has been a treat to watch him turn short catches into big catches, as well as make big plays down the field.
