Burks came up with a few big plays in Week 12, with the first being his fumble recovery for a touchdown on a big Derrick Henry gain that saw Tennessee’s star running back fumble the ball near the goal line.
Thankfully, Burks was right there to pick it up and secure his first career touchdowns. Just how we all would’ve drawn it up, eh?

Later in the game, Burks completed his second 50-yard completion and third 40-plus-yard catch in the last two games in the third quarter, setting up three of the Titans’ six points in the second half.
But this was not just some ho-hum catch, as Burks elevated to complete the contested grab in what was yet another flash of the ability we heard about coming out of college.
BIG. PLAY. BURKS. @TreylonBurks

Most importantly, it was another step in the right direction for Burks, who is already establishing himself as the No. 1 option through the air in his first season.
