Titans' Zach Mettenberger sets rookie record for MNF passing yards
Jim Brown / USA TODAY Sports
Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger recovered from a brutal start to Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It wasn't enough to commandeer to his team to victory as the Titans lost 27-24, but the former LSU standout did set a record.
Mettenberger's 263 passing yards were the most by a rookie on Monday Night Football. The 23-year-old threw two touchdown passes, but also tossed an interception on the Titans' first offensive play of the game.
Tennessee selected Mettenberger in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
