    The Titans still had hopes of getting back into the game Sunday against San Diego when they missed out on what should have been a sure touchdown.

    With the ball at the Tennessee 37, quarterback Jake Locker – under pressure — scrambled to his right and saw rookie tight end Taylor Thompson wide open way downfield. Locker uncorked a huge throw, one that sailed over the head of Thompson as he waited inside the San Diego 20-yard line.

    Locker was guilty of overthrowing, but Thompson – who played defensive end in college – didn’t do a very good job of adjusting to the pass either.

    “It was difficult because Jake was rolling out, and you would think he’s not going to put that much oomph on it,” Titans tight end Jared Cook said. “It was just a catch in the backyard type throw. It was just a little overthrown and Taylor had difficult adjusting to it. He didn’t think it was going to be thrown as far is what (Thompson) told us today.

    “But that’s just a tough break. It’s something we should have had, but those are the things that happen in the game that you kind of have to bounce back from.”

    Always throw that ball short, you never try to make a perfect pass.

    The way I see it is Thompson shouldn't of just stood there. He should have kept going deeper especially since locker has a canon. The announcers said the same thing.

    It was a complete fail on both ends. Thompson had cement for feet and Locker (as usual) had no accuracy.

    IDK thompson looked pretty stupid....I'm thinking 99.8% of receivers in the national football league make that grab. The remaining .2% are probably on the Titans.
