NFL Week 9 Recap: Tennessee Titans 20, New England Patriots 17

The Tennessee Titans secured their first win in five weeks by beating the New England Patriots, 20-17, in a game with top-five pick implications.

Rookie Drake Maye led New England down to the Titans' 5-yard line with no timeouts, then kept the final play alive for nearly 10 seconds before locating Rhamondre Stevenson for the game-tying touchdown. However, his interception thrown to Amani Hooker ended the game in overtime.
