Darius Reynaud, Tennessee Titans — Season begins with a safety on opening kickoff

The Tennessee Titans started off their season with an unimaginable error that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a quick two-point lead.

Pittsburgh performed a squib kick — or maybe it was just a poor boot from Shaun Suisham — and Titans kick returner Darius Reynaud was confused on what to do. He scooped up the bouncing ball and immediately thought to down it for the touchback, but there was one minor problem.

Reynaud had crossed the goal line when he went to pick up the ball and he walked back in to the endzone to kneel the ball. Unfortunately, that resulted in the quick safety.

The good news for the Titans is that they were able to overcome the early mistake and come away from Heinz Field with the win to start their season.
