Tennessee Titans star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ripped into those who burglarized his home while he played against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
There were « at least six suspects » who burglarized Simmons’ Nashville home, which came shortly after 7 p.m., the Metro Nashville Police Department told ESPN.
That was the exact time frame the Titans were facing the 49ers in the Bay Area.

« What if any of my family members was in my house?? » Simmons wrote on social media while showing security camera footage of the burglars trying to enter his home. « All that materialistic s—- you can have but this is crazy! »
Simmons also called the burglars « f—ing cowards, » though he was complimentary of the Metro Nashville PD.

« I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Titans’ security team for their professionalism and swift response, » Simmons said in a statement. « Their dedication to ensuring the safety of our entire Nashville community does not go unnoticed. I remain thankful for God’s protection and grace. »
The suspects were said to have gained entry to Simmons’ home « after smashing out window glass, » while « multiple items were taken » in the process.
It’s unclear exactly what was taken from Simmons’ home.
Meanwhile, Simmons was able to find the end zone despite the loss to the 49ers, so a good personal performance came to a screeching halt once he found out the news.
But unfortunately, Simmons isn’t the only NFL star who has been burglarized while playing a game.
Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had it happen last season, as did Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. All of those burglaries were in connection with a South American theft group that was specifically targeting NFL and NBA players.
Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders also saw $200,000 worth of property taken from his residence while they were playing the Baltimore Ravens earlier this season.
The Titans’ security team said it is « actively working » with local police to recover the stolen items.
