4. Austin Hooper lays the deadly stiff-arm

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will never find himself more open on the field than he did this play today. Broken down coverage from the Bears secondary left him wide open in the middle of the field. After the catching the pass, he then laid a nasty stiff arm on safety Quintin Demps for the touchdown.

Nine times out of ten, Hooper is going to win that battle. Demps really had no shot and got completely embarrassed. That’s one he’ll have to hear about for a very long time.

3. Adoree’ Jackson’s hops know no bounds

Mama, there goes that man. Thought Adoree’ Jackson was just a cornerback? Think again.

Off a kickoff early in the fourth quarter, Jackson fielded the return and showed off his hops. He broke off a tackle and then proceeded to soar over Raiders kicker Giorgio Tavecchio.

Not only did we see Jackson break up passes in the secondary today, but his ability to return kicks makes him a dual-threat for Titans. For Tavecchio, trying to make a tackle in the first place is a bad idea. You can bet he is going to think twice before ever trying that again.

The Titans couldn’t pull out the win, but Jackson sure is a bright spot for this team going forward.
