Jared Cook makes a big catch on special night

It was an emotional night for tight end Jared Cook, whose mother served as the 12th Titan.

Yulinda Cook, a breast cancer survivor, raised the flag before the game. She was surrounded by family in the stands at LP Field.

Cook needed patience on the night. He wasn’t looked to early in the game, but he came up big when the Titans needed him late. It was Cook’s 25-yard catch in the final seconds that set up the game-winning field goal.

Cook would like more chances. But he’s managed to keep a good attitude.

“It’s tough,’’ he said. ”But you just have to be ready when they call your number. You never know when the opportunity is going to come to make a big play. When the opportunity came, I made a play.”

He said he got his strength from his mother. For Cook, Thursday was a special night.

“My whole family was here,’’ Cook said. “For her to be able to be here, with my family, it was a special occasion for her. It was awesome.”
