Treylon Burks finally secured his first career touchdown catch in the NFL a week after he had a bizarre score in the end zone.
Last week, Burks recovered a Derrick Henry fumble in the end zone for a score. This time, he went over the middle and absorbed a bone-rattling hit, and still held on to the ball. It was a 25-yard touchdown, and Burks was slow to get up as there was a flag thrown on the play as well. Burks was also evaluated for a concussion following the catch.
The Titans drafted Burks using the 18th selection following a trade that sent wide receiver A.J. Brown to Philadelphia.
Burks played 32 games in 3 seasons at Arkansas and had 146 receptions for 2,399 yards and 18 touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Burks also ran 32 times for 222 yards and a TD. He came into Sunday with 24 catches for the Titans for 334 yards.
