In the third quarter of Saturday’s playoff game between the Titans and Bengals, one of the most controversial plays of this postseason went Tennessee’s way.
Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow threw a short pass to running back La'Mical Perine, but the ball bounced off his hands. Like everyone else, Perine assumed the ball would just fall to the ground. But somehow, Titans safety Amani Hooker was able to dive for the ball and came up with the interception before it hit the ground. Or so it appeared.
After replay, the ball can be seen scraping away at the turf simultaneously as Hooker gained possession.
