Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was one of the few bright spots during the team’s 22-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11.
Westbrook-Ikhine had a career day in a game that saw fellow wideout A.J. Brown leave early. NWI posted career-highs in catches (seven) and yards (107), and his 46-yard reception was also a career-best.
Unfortunately, Westbrook-Ikhine’s career game came on quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s worst performance as a Titan and it simply wasn’t enough to overcome Tennessee’s mistake-filled showing.
Honorable mentions
WR Dez Fitzpatrick: The rookie reeled in career-highs in catches (three), yards (35) and found pay dirt for the first time in his career. He also had a few grabs that moved the chains for Tennessee. After a rough start to his career, Fitzpatrick appears to be moving in the right direction.

CB Elijah Molden: Molden was responsible for the only QB Hit the Titans tallied on Sunday. On top of that, he had one pass break-up and one of his tackles was a great play that prevented the Texans from moving the chains.
RB Dontrell Hilliard: The running back did have a fumble into the end zone, but thankfully it was recovered for a score by tight end Anthony Firkser. In all, Hilliard looked like the Titans’ best back with 5.0 yards per carry, and he led all Titans backs in touches (15) and total yards (82). The running back also added three kick returns at 21.7 yards per.
