Terps in the NFL: Okonkwo shines for Titans

There weren’t a lot of impressive performances among former Terps in the NFL in week 14, but one rookie had arguably his best showing in the NFL so far Sunday.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo had the most catches he’s had in a game this season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. While playing 49% of offensive snaps, he had six catches on six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown catch wasn’t an easy one either, with him having to leap through two defenders at the goal line to get into the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown.
