Watch: Treylon Burks somehow hangs on to touchdown reception

Treylon Burks made a spectacular touchdown catch against the Philadelphia Eagles that ended with the rookie wide receiver in the concussion protocol.

Burks made a 25-yard touchdown reception on a dart thrown by Ryan Tannehill. He needled the ball between two defenders and Burks held on to the ball after a vicious hit from safety Marcus Epps.

Epps was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play but remained in the game. Burks received medical attention before being taken into the locker room.

The touchdown tied the game at seven. Burks' absence will have a major effect on the Titans' passing offense. He was selected with the first-round pick acquired in the A.J. Brown draft day trade. 

After a slow start, Burks has come on strong of late. In his last four games, including Sunday against Philadelphia, Burks has 15 receptions for 230 yards. His touchdown reception shows what the team saw in him when they drafted him. As much as the team would love to have him back on the field, his full recovery is most important.
