Overview
- Hooker intercepted Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow three times in Tennessee's Week 8 game, with his first pick in the first quarter and the decisive third coming late in the third quarter on an intended deep pass to Ja'Marr Chase.
- The first interception in the game was Hooker's third of the season, and the three picks shifted momentum in a contest where Tennessee competed for the win.
- Sporting News updated its list of three-interception games and verified each play using NFL video clips while citing Football Reference for the historical data behind single-game interception totals.
- Hooker's three-INT game is rare in the modern era, marking only the second such performance since 2020 and the sixth since 2010, while the NFL single-game record remains four interceptions by a player.
- The performance raises the profile of Tennessee's secondary and Hooker's season, and it could force Cincinnati to adjust how it attacks the Titans' deep coverage in upcoming games.
