Tennessee Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck rolls out against the Denver Broncos in the second quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011, in Nashville, Tenn.NASHVILLE — Matt Hasselbeck ran off the field holding a football over his head, celebrating both a win and his 36th birthday. Whether he gets to pass to Kenny Britt again this season remains to be seen.
Hasselbeck threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Graham with 4:24 left, and the Titans rallied for a 17-14 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday after losing the AFC’s top receiver in the second quarter when his right knee buckled underneath him.
Britt limped out of the locker room wearing a brace, and coach Mike Munchak said the receiver would have tests to determine the extent of the injury. Hasselbeck found other players to throw to, including Graham, whose first catch of the season came against his former team.
“The bottom line is it’s hard to win in this league,” Munchak said. “Any win to me is a good win, and 2-1 is a lot better than the alternative.”
Hasselbeck passed for 311 yards and two touchdowns to lead Tennessee to its second straight win.
