Levis threw the ball and Ridley showed tremendous concentration to catch the pass as Jets safety Chuck Clark closed in. What looked like an interception turned into a 40-yard touchdown. The crowd at Nissan Stadium erupted in cheers as Ridley rolled into the end zone and scored to make it 17-17 late in the third quarter.
Ridley previously scored his first touchdown as a Titan on a 10-yard jet sweep. That was Ridley’s first career rushing touchdown. He became just the second Titan since the start of the 2020 season to score a receiving touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the same game. Running back Tyjae Spears did it last season in Week 18.
