Two days ago, Titans kicker Sam Sloman wasn't even on the active roster. Now, he's a Tennessee hero.
Sloman's game-winning 37-yard field goal on Sunday clanged off the right upright and in to seal a thrilling 41-38 win over the Texans. The victory clinched the AFC South title for Tennessee, the franchise's first division crown since 2008.
A seventh-round pick by the Rams out of Miami of Ohio, Sloman was 8-for-11 on field goals and 18-for-21 in extra point attempts for Los Angeles before getting cut from the team in October. The Titans signed him to their practice squad in November, then activated him before Sunday's game after Stephen Gostkowski was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
