Titans OC Todd Downing Arrested For DUI ... Hours After Win Over Packers
10:51 AM PT -- Titans head coach Mike Vrabel just spoke with media members about Todd Downing's arrest for nearly eight minutes -- but he largely avoided answering most questions, citing an ongoing investigation.
He declined to reveal if alcohol was provided on the team plane following the win ... though he did say the Titans do have a policy in place where if someone needs a ride -- no matter the time of day -- the org. will get them one.
8:20 AM PT -- The Titans said in a statement they "are aware" of the Downing arrest and "are in the process of gathering additional information."
6:56 AM PT -- According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, officers observed Downing "traveling at a high rate of speed" on Interstate 65 at around 2:30 AM.
The THP says during an ensuing traffic stop, officers observed signs of impairment from Downing. They said they also smelled an odor of booze coming from the coach's vehicle.
Downing was then placed under arrest for DUI, the THP said.
Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing was arrested on Friday morning ... just hours after he helped his team beat the Packers on "Thursday Night Football," TMZ Sports has confirmed.
A police spokesperson tells us Downing was arrested by the Tennessee Highway Patrol in Williamson County, TN. on Friday morning ... and booked on charges of DUI and speeding.
Records show the 42-year-old bonded out of jail at around 6:46 AM.

Just prior to his arrest, Downing put on a great performance in Tennessee's 27-17 win over Green Bay at Lambeau Field. He dialed up several trick plays, and was partly responsible for a big night from quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who completed 22 of his 27 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns.
The Titans have yet to publicly comment on the arrest.
