A.J. Brown has been pretty excellent for the Tennessee Titans since being drafted last year, but he had an ugly drop on Thursday night.

The Titans had a 3rd-and-11 from their 28-yard line midway through the first quarter against the Indianapolis Colts. Ryan Tannehill threw a deep ball down the left sidelines for Brown, who was unable to hang on to the ball.

Brown would have had a 72-yard touchdown had he been able to hang on to the ball.

Brown had 52 catches for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie last season. He entered Thursday night’s game with 31 catches for 457 yards and eight touchdowns. He missed a chance to add on to those stats and increase Tennessee’s lead over Indianapolis. This was the fifth drop of his career.
