Titans' Treylon Burks holds on for spectacular TD catch despite violent blow to the head
Treylon Burks made a stunning touchdown catch against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. With the Eagles leading the Titans, 7-0 in the first quarter, Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill looked to Burks in the end zone on a second-down pass from the Philadelphia 34-yard line. Burks snagged the ball with Eagles cornerback Josiah Scott draped on his back, then took a violent helmet-to-helmet blow from safety Marcus Epps on his way to the ground. In a scary scene, he remained motionless on his back for several moments after the catch. The Titans announced that Burks was being evaluated for further injury, but didn't initially provide further details of his diagnosis.
