It's no question that Tennessee Titans gunslinger Ryan Tannehill is as tough as they come. Last year's Comeback Player of the Year has been nothing but huge in the Titan's 2-0 start this season. During Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, one of Tannehill's four TD passes was an impressive throw under immense pressure that was caught by receiver Adam Humphries in the end zone.
Apparently, Tannehill screamed “And One” even before his throw landed to his teammates hands. “And One” is a basketball term when a player gets hit with a foul but still converts the basket which the QB did quite flawlessly on Sunday.
“That was bad ass,” Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan said of Tannehill’s reaction, via Jim Wyatt of the team website. “That was cool. I was right there, and I didn’t watch Hump score. I watched Tannehill and his reaction, and he was kind of looking, looking and gave the ‘And One.’ It was solid, man. It was pretty cool. We have a lot of confidence in Ryan, and Ryan has a lot of confidence in us the way he stands on the pocket.”
But per Tannehill, it's all business and he just wants to stay as competitive as ever as he looks to lead the Titans back to another post-season run.
“I don’t really do it for a reaction or anything,” Tannehill said. “It’s just me being myself, trying to lead, and having fun and making plays. And I’m going to continue to do that.”
The 32-year old has been riding the momentum of an incredible 2019 campaign where he finally made it to the Pro Bowl after six seasons in the league. Tannehill's finished last season as the NFL passer rating leader (117.5) and was deservingly lauded for quite a comeback season.
