The Tennessee Titans landed the first punch Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of last year's AFC Divisional Round game.
With 8:45 to go in the first quarter of the Week 11 matchup at M&T Bank Stadium, the Titans took to the air on the goal line. After a semi-play action to Henry, Tannehill lobbed an easy pass to tight end Jonnu Smith, who was going cross-current to the defense in the end zone:

It marked Smith's eighth TD of the season — the most for tight ends in the NFL. It was Tannehill's 21st touchdown toss of the season, against just four interceptions.
The score put the Titans up 7-0. A Justin Tucker field goal put the Ravens on the board before the end of the first quarter, and Tucker hit another early in the second.
Tannehill completed all five of his passing attempts in the first quarter for 36 yards. However, he threw a field-reversing interception to linebacker Tyus Bowser in the first minute of the second quarter.
Tennessee (6-3) is looking to regain some momentum on Sunday and improve its standing in the playoff race. The Titans have lost three of their past four games after starting the season 5-0 and dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak.
Baltimore (6-3) is hoping to rebound from a disappointing 23-17 loss in a virtual monsoon to the New England Patriots in Week 10.
Tannehill mostly handed the ball off to Derrick Henry (30 carries, 195 yards) in the Titans' 28-12 upset victory of MVP Lamar Jackson and the top-seeded Ravens last January, though two of his seven completions went for TDs.
