Video of ex-Titans OC Todd Downing’s DUI arrest released

A little over four months after former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator and current New York Jets passing-game coordinator Todd Downing’s arrest for DUI, video of the incident has been released.

The video of Downing’s arrest comes from TMZ Sports, and in it the officer notes that Downing was doing “easily over” 100 MPH before he pulled him over.

The ex-Titans offensive coordinator, who helped lead Tennessee to a victory over the Packers in Green Bay just hours before his arrest near Nashville on his way home from the airport, apologized for speeding and told the officer he was rushing home to his family because he received a death threat.

“I never meant to go reckless, I’m just worried about my family,” Downing said.

The officer told Downing he smelled alcohol coming from the car; however, the 42-year-old coach denied he was drinking. Downing then went through field sobriety tests, which he failed, prompting his arrest for DUI.

After being put in the police car, Downing can be heard pleading for “grace” from the officer. He then calls someone with the team to let them know what happened before admitting he drank a “victory beer.”

Downing, who was fired by the Titans in January and hired by the Jets the following month, eventually served a 48-hour sentence in February.
