NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Timing when to use trick plays can be, well, tricky. Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel pointed out that there's a fine line between something that could help the team and something that could be disastrous.
"Unintended consequences sometimes come with those plays," Vrabel said.
But trick plays were instrumental in Vrabel's first victory as an NFL head coach. In Week 2 last season against the Houston Texans, the Titans scored a 66-yard touchdown on fourth-and-6 when safety Kevin Byard, who was lined up as the personal protector on the punt team, connected on a pass to safety Dane Cruikshank.
