Tennessee was down 21-17 late in the fourth quarter when Tannehill put together a seven-play, 82-yard drive that saw the veteran quarterback find DeAndre Hopkins for 14 yards while he was hit by Kenneth Murray on third down. The linebacker was flagged for roughing the passer.

Three plays later, Tannehill found Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for a 4-yard touchdown pass to go up three points with 2:22 left in the game. Justin Herbert led the Chargers down on a 10-play, 60-yard drive that resulted in the game-tying field goal but couldn’t get anything going in overtime.
