We didn't even make it through the first half of the first game of the NFL postseason before we already had a potential winner for the worst drop of this year's playoffs.
As a matter of fact, judging by the response on Twitter, the drop by Eric Decker might actually go down as the worst drop in any playoff season ever.
After only recording one first down in the entire first quarter, the Titans had a chance to pick up another first down early in the second quarter when they were faced with a third-and-4 from the 50-yard line. The struggling Titans offense really needed a big play and it looked like they were going to get it when Marcus Mariota found Decker wide open about 15 yards downfield.
At that point, Mariota threw a pass that hit Decker right in the numbers and somehow, Decker was unable to come down with it.

As far as drops go, it really doesn't get much worse than that. If Decker had caught the ball, it would've given the Titans a first down at Kansas City's 35-yard line in a game that Tennessee was trailing 14-0.
After the drop, everyone on Twitter decided to roast Decker because that's what everyone on Twitter does in situations like that.

Eric Decker DUDE! My 9 yr old could catch that 100 out of 100 times. You need to pay Tennessee for them allowing you to play #ericdecker

Every time I turn on the titans Eric Decker is dropping a pass

Chiefs are triple covering Delanie Walker because the only way Eric Decker is getting the ball is a handoff.

Despite the ugly drop, Decker was able to redeem himself with a 22-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter that put the Titans on top 22-21.
