Titans TE Austin Hooper stepped up against Packers

The Tennessee Titans finally seem to have found some sort of passing attack. 

In Tennessee's 27-17 win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, rookie wideout Treylon Burks hauled in 111 yards in his first game back from injury. Wideout Robert Woods joined in with 69 yards. 

Running back Derrick Henry even got in on the action with 45 yards in the air to couple with his 87 yards on the ground. 

However, it's tight end Austin Hooper who has to be raising eyebrows for Tennessee. 

The former Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns player notched 36 yards on four catches but also had two touchdowns. 

While Hooper might not wow anyone for his yardage, he came through in a big way for the Titans down low. The Titans have desperately needed a red zone option in the passing game. 

Hooper showed on Thursday night that he might be able to be that guy going ahead. 

The former Stanford standout had been a quiet cog in the Titans offense leading into Thursday. He didn't have any touchdowns and less than 200 yards of offense. 

In Green Bay, Hooper came alive and found good chemistry with Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the end zone. 

If Hooper can keep this up, the Titans offense could take on a new dimension down the stretch. 

They knew they could run the ball with Henry, but Hooper being more consistent and Burks being healthy could work wonders.
