Titans overcome Witherspoon penalty

Titans linebacker Will Witherspoon celebrated a big hit on Jets quarterback Marck Sanchez. Then he saw a penalty flag and was in agony.

The personal foul with 2:33 remaining gave the Jets, trailing 14-10, a first down at the Tennessee 34. Three plays later, Titans safety Michael Griffin intercepted Sanchez at the 2.

“It’s one of those things where we all hit him at the same time,” Witherspoon said. “I don’t know if I hit him in the head because I turned my shoulder into him. Your heart kind of drops when you get a penalty like that, but we hunkered down and did what we needed to do.”
