There’s never a “perfect time” for a defense to generate its season’s first turnover, but as the Tennessee Titans took the field for drive No. 2 against an already-leading, red-hot Indianapolis offense, such a scenario would’ve been quite convenient. A proven, respected veteran and elder statesman among Tennessee's talented defensive unit, Amani Hooker answered the call, turning the opposing quarterback’s overthrow into an interception, followed by a speedy 30-yard return to invigorate the crowd. Steadily building on a quietly-productive 2024 campaign, Hooker contributed six tackles (four solo), one interception, and just a 75.7 passer rating allowed when targeted during the nail-biting 20-17 loss to the Colts on Oct. 13, 2024.
