Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had a big performance after coming back to Indiana as a member of the Tennessee Titans. He last played in Indiana when he was a Hoosier.

With the Titans trailing 17-14 in the 3rd quarter, quarterback Ryan Tannehill found Westbrook-Ikhine in the endzone to give them the lead, 21-17. It was a perfect strike on a slant route and he was able to haul it in with no problems.

Westbrook-Ikhine finished with 2 catches for 16 yards, plus that touchdown as this was a wild back-and-forth affair. Tennesee ended up winning it in overtime after Indianapolis quarterback Carson Wentz threw a game-changing interception, which resulted in Randy Bullock hitting the clinching field goal.

This was Westbrook-Ikhine’s 2nd touchdown reception of the season. His 1st one came against these same Colts on Sept. 26 where he finished with 4 receptions for 53 yards.

He has close to 150 total receiving yards going into the 2nd half of the season and could be even more of a target if he keeps this play up.

Tennessee’s next game will be against the L.A. Rams on Sunday Night Football on Nov. 7.
