A.J. Brown has made more than his fair share of highlight-reel plays in his young career, but the best yet may have come Saturday.
Brown reeled in the second playoff touchdown of his career near the end of the third quarter of the Bengals-Titans playoff game, tying the score at 16-16. Oh, and he did it with just one hand.
After the Titans took over on an incredible diving interception by Amani Hooker, quarterback Ryan Tannehill wasted no time making the Bengals pay. After running the rock with Derrick Henry on first down, Tannehill dropped back and looked deep for Brown, streaking toward the end zone.
With two defenders surrounding him, Brown turned and located the perfectly placed ball from Tannehill right as it came in on his back hip. All he had to do was turn and open up his left hand.

It was an equalizing score for the Titans and continued a monster day for Brown in which he had already eclipsed 100 yards through the air.
