WATCH: Denico Autry Gets Strip-Sack Fumble on Patriots QB Bailey Zappe, Jayden Peevy Recovers

The Tennessee Titans first-team defense forced a turnover on their second drive of the game when Denico Autry stripped Bailey Zappe on a sack.

The Tennessee Titans are taking on the New England Patriots in their last preseason game of the year and the starting defense has already made a huge play in the first quarter.

Titans defensive lineman Denico Autry hit Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe on a pass play and stripped the ball. Jayden Peevy scooped it up and ran for five yards before being taken down just five yards before the end zone.

The Titans' offense was only able to get a field goal out of the opportunity, but the more important note here is the Titans' defense looks to be in mid-season form already. They've dominated the Patriots' offense so far.

GRAND OLE AUTRY!
