The game between Tennessee and Detroit followed the expected script from a 1-5 team vs. a 5-1 team. In the first drive, Mason Rudolph threw an interception that gave the home team an excellent field position, which they converted into a touchdown. Two drives later, the Titans tied he score after two big plays in the passing game.

The next three drives were all touchdowns, including a long touchdown run from Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, who darted into the end zone for a 70-yard score. Once the score became 14-14, however, the game went from a tie contest to total domination, with the home team impressively scoring 38 unanswered points.

Right after halftime, Detroit scored a punt return touchdown to make it 42-14 which basically ended the game. Tennessee's offense did not work for the rest of the game.

If there's any silver lining for the visitors, it's the fact that Calvin Ridley had a very good game, surpassing the 100-yard mark. However, his exhibition in the second half was also disappointing, just like the rest of the offense.

Goff threw three touchdowns but didn't even cross the 100-yard mark. That happened because the defense forced four turnovers and gave the offense an excellent field position, which they converted with five touchdowns out of five trips to the red zone.
